Despite being able to give people access to a plethora of information, the internet is full of highly uneducated and stubborn people. There are many sites with communities that look down on the viewers of mainstream media, because they are susceptible to sensationalism and hate mongering. However, they fall for the same vices when they're apposed onto them. There's been so many threads on Reddit that have started witch hunts over nothing. A lot of people read a title, don't read the article, and don't really look into the reliability of the sources given. An article with a false, but angering, title from an amateur site is good enough to start an internet fight.
Pretty much everything.
