Talk radio, the tabloid media and cable news networks stoke a lot of hard feelings toward diverse minority groups under the guise of reporting and analytical opinion, which make their shareholders happy from soaring advertising revenue, and comforts and emboldens those on the ever-expanding fringe who consume their offerings.

Trump's messenger boys and girls, who brashly role models an in-your-face brand of opinion-making for the masses that, evidently, is catching on pretty fast to the detriment of civil society.
