In his column titled "From One Frenzy to the Next", Victor Davis Hanson describes Russian collusion, the NFL kneelers, the statue-haters, and the sexual harassers this way: "America
is in another of its Salem moments. Frenzy is almost a living,
breathing monster. It moves from host to host, fueled by rumor, gossip,
and self-righteous furor."
And that's why I watch as little of the news as possible these days. The constant cable news with all the shouting, the eye-popping split screens, and the tidal wave of information is simply overwhelming. Remember when we relied on just a newspaper or Walter Cronkite for our information, and remember when things were so much calmer and quieter?
