media moth

A person whom flies toward any collection of reporters in an attempt to bring their personal issues to light on slow news days. Pest sprays only encourage them, and often draws other media moths to the infestation. Media Moths usually do something outrageous or unusual to draw attention then perform a slow spiral of self inflicted damage until their flame is extinguished by the scrutiny of people with common sense, or by a bigger news story.

Whoa, that media moth flamed out when the newshounds started chasing another story.

Media-Zombie

A person who is influenced by the media's bias on any given topic. These people are very naïve and accept the information thrown at them without feeling the need to do their own fact-checking and research to formulate their own opinion. A non-freethinker.

These people are like Zombies in many ways. The first is as mentioned before - a non-freethinker. The second is that they go after others and spread the misinformation they received from the media in groups. They prey on others and spread this vile disease.

The media-zombies are out ransacking businesses due to the fear-mongering on CNN.
