Yeah, the problem with all of this is that the media, even the mainstream for the the most part, tends to cover all this crap straight rather than calling it for the BS that it is and so it just reinforces the opinions of those who already think along these lines.
Actually, it all kinda reminds me of fandom. People see what hey want to see and any kind of objective truth or right or wrong seems to go out the window. It's all very post-modernist which is fine when you're talking about pretty boys and their angels but it gets kinda scary when the same mind set is applied to real people with a heck of a lot of power.
