Oliver explores if our engagement with the news is a symptom of damage to public life?

One of the consequences of our obsession with the news is how we now feel more involved with it. In this episode we see how that plays out and can actually contribute to making a situation worse.

Commenting on a story or tweeting about it and makes us feel that on some level we are involved in it. That involvement can really push our buttons if it's an issue we already feel strongly about.

When that strength of feeling spills out of the comment section and into the real world nobody wins.
