Oh man, last night I went on a music downloading spree and before I knew it, I had 15 open tabs in my web browser bogging down my machine. Total Media ADD man.

Brainstream Media

Brainstream Media defines the general worldwide media that's using subliminal messaging, NLP, false narratives and pre-written texts in order to corral you to believe a story that isn't (entirely) true. Often times, you'll find that they dispel information, not by tackling the accusation head on, but by talking "around" it and not actually demonstration a real case. It's a dangerous but convincing method of convincing the general population of something being true (or untrue) when in fact, it's incorrect.
The Brainstream media is reporting that Chris Cornell, Chester Bennington, Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain all committed suicide.

media mom

A housewife whose perception of reality is derived from the news media (conservative or liberal, doesn't matter) and popular pseudoscience like Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil.

Because they have stayed indoors for many years in the age of social media and media saturation, media moms soak up the perception - however false it may be - that television creates. They may own nearly all of Dr. Oz's books, along with Dr. Phil and subscribe to Oprah Magazine. They buy many supplements and vitamins based on what Dr. Oz has said, regardless of the lack of rigor scientific evidence. They believe the world is getting worse by the minute despite the evidence of the contrary, solely because they are bombarded by negative news reports from the television on a daily basis. Lastly, media moms also tend to share or believe many false or exaggerated news articles on Facebook or other social media sites.

Media moms ultimately suffer from many cognitive biases, and they are very much set in their ways.

Socio Media

Sociopathic behavior on social media. Mostly “normal” people with basic interpersonal communication skills in the real world who tend to lose all sense of empathy and compassion for other human beings on the internet.

While online they become sadistic bullies, full of self-righteousness; and often attempt to come up with something clever or humorous to say at somebody else’s expense without any care for the feelings or personal struggles of others.
Any and every comment section is full of Socio Media experts.
