This is kind of the end result we're heading for, where you can only talk candidly with people who are equal or lower than you on the oppression hierarchy. The shitty part is that I'm pretty sure 99% of people are reasonable human beings but the media has to make it seem like that isn't the case so the risk equation changes. Similar to how kids used to roam around the neighborhood but now it's deemed too risky because the media makes it seem like there are murderers lurking around every corner.

I don't blame the media for this. The media just magnifies a very real and sizable aspect of our culture that already exists.

Just like how these people are seeking someone to blame, you are seeking the same when you blame the media. It's not just the media, what's going on here is something we're all responsible for.

The magnification distorts reality and alters peoples behavior such that everyone is a little bit more irrational.

But the distortion existed in society in the first place. The main stream media reports what people what to hear because it's good for business. The root of the problem is us.

The phenomenon isn't something created by the media and deployed into society. The origins of cancel culture and most of this outrage come from extremist leftist elements from students in college campuses. The media just made the spreading of this phenomenon faster.

You can't really blame social media either. Because we control what goes onto social media. We're responsible for the news on our social feeds.
