Talk Show Host: So how do you defend your position saying that gay people are freaks?
Celebrity: First off, I said I supported Gay rights and I said that I think that straight people are afraid that if gay marriage is legalized that they'll try to be converted. Like in the "One of Us" scene from the 1932 film "FREAKS."
Talk Show Host: That's not what Perez Hilton said.
Celebrity: That's because he's a Media Troll!

Theres not really anything social about social media, if anything, social media encourages people to be distant from each other and in their own little world/bubble. There are people nowadays who won't do anything in life if theres not a picture or video to post and comment about. They live to be seen on social media, YouTube, or reality TV, where everything is staged. What happened to enjoying what you were doing so much at the time that you didnt think to film it, you already missed your opportunity to film it and it didnt matter, you got to be human for a few minutes, you were as close to who you really were as you get, no image. That must have ended in the 90s with VCR's for some people.
Social media provides the illusion of being part of a large network, meanwhile some people are getting rich via this platform. There was a time before social media where people actually knew each other in real life and had actual life experience with the other person, rather than the virtual image of someone on a computer screen.

'Godi' in Hindi, corresponds to one's Lap and is in this case used in reference to many media outlets being the lap dogs of the Hindu Nationalist government. Most channels that constitute "Godi media" may be directly or indirectly linked, through even the most cursory research, to ring leaders inside of the BJP
It features some of the most disgusting-looking schlubs you have ever seen as anchors. It also features some of the most Asperger's-fueled segements that would even nauseate Memri TV operators
