It can be difficult to control our emotional responses to media manipulation.  Recognizing it is the first step.  As a society we have to learn to be critical of the people we agree with. Those media outlets who would claim to speak on our behalf.  They should be held to the highest standard because the claim to be speaking on your behalf. You can call out misinformation from outlets you disagree with all you want, but you aren't changing anyone's mind.  Holding sources you agree with to high standards is the pathway to the high ground, but more importantly, it's a path to getting people to listen to what you have to say.  If you care about your cause, then you should be very critical of those who've been given a platform to speak on it.     Celebrities are ridiculous, entitled and absolutely over-estimate their importance and relevance. Agree or disagree with them, can we please stop giving them so much attention?    The "don't say gay bill" and the argument that it's a law against something that wasn't happening are examples of "fake news." The bill is named don't say gay as a flat out lie.  This is the kind of garbage journalism that harms the LGB movement.  Also, it IS being taught in public schools.
