Lol, same here. Three TV news channels, Rocky Mountain News and the Denver Post. Pretty much a single edged sword, whereas the internet has become a hard hitting double edge sword cutting both ways to the dismay of the previous sword wielders. Funny how at first it was the “boomer” jokes that spread like wildfire. Then the jokes became political as more information flowed into the pipeline that was once unavailable unless deep diving into hard to find records. Now we’re into what I would call the “memeformation” era, which IMHO has done more to inform and influence the public of truths than ever before. I know I have used them successfully to wake others up. Especially in a society with short attention spans. Humorous, short, to the point and logically truthful until it hurts. They inspire further research with the need and desire to share with others. It’s really I think, quite remarkable the change the “meme wars” have made upon the world in the last ten years.
