People have been complaining about social media for some time now. Some people oppose their presence at all. But is it that bad? Does it need to be removed? Only time can tell. But it is not wrong that social media is causing a side effect, but then everything has a side effect. The only thing that needs to be assessed is whether or not it is life-threatening bad. People have been debating that while there is a bad side to social media, it is only there because of the manner the people are using it.

The disinformation age is drowning us in a deluge of data, "facts" and opinion. It consumes our attention.

What was once an Orwellian fable is now our reality. Even though our ancestors were controlled by the ruling elite comprised of royalty and religions, they would not recognize what has become of our world today and amazingly very little has in fact changed. The difference is, we believe we are free, when in truth we are controlled, manipulated, and cajoled into action or inaction. We are bled dry of our money, time, lives, and even our very souls.

In Hunting Girls, Kelly Oliver examines popular culture's fixation on representing young women as predators and prey and the implication that violence - especially sexual violence - is an inevitable, perhaps even celebrated, part of a woman's maturity. In such films as Kick-Ass (2010), The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011), and Maleficent (2014), power, control, and danger drive the story, but traditional relationships of care constrict the narrative. Even the protagonist's love interest adds to her suffering.

It seeks to explain this perfect storm of money, technology, and partisanship that has created two entirely separate news spheres: a small, enclosed circle for the right wing and a sprawling expanse for everyone else.
