I completely disagree with the highlighted statement above. It would be accurate to state this is what the media is interested in and what they buy into.
The rest of America is quite normal in what it wants and it is most certainly NOT what is depicted by the very few radical celebrities and politicians that are glorified by the media.
My biggest issue, pet peeve, annoyance in life is the amount of generalizing done with isolated incidents.
The America I know and love, the 90+++%, and the Americans I know and love are not into the gutter lifestyles, the 2-5%, put disgracefully on display.
