TV has gotten pretty crazy and now we even have the Al Jazeera America channel.

I wonder what you mean by crazy stuff. I would bet that you would be pushing the like button for some of the stuff. It is not over then top, it is quite convincing if you are in tune with the politics.

It is not the crazy content that I am concerned about it is the incessant drumbeat urging participation/action and recommending outrage against the opposition.
