News or reality tv?

We've become a society that has blurred the lines of gossip and news. 

How did we lose sight of the issues we continue to face? 

When did reading about someones life become more valuable then the lives that are suffering 

When did spurring lies become okay? 

Did we lose sight of what's important? Or did we stop caring? 

Have we created nation full of hatred, full of fear, and full of negativity?

Or worse. 

Have we've become soo self absorb that we are indifferent.
