media storm

A much-hyped weather-pattern that is intended to prompt panicked locals to stock up on costly emergency-supplies (canned/dried food, flashlights/batteries, auto/heating fuel, propane, generators, snowblowers, etc.), but then no "huge nor'easter" --- or even any particularly-noteworthy weather-disturbance of any kind --- ever actually materializes, causing the frazzled residents to feel foolish and disgusted for having spent all that hard-earned money for nothing.

I didn't bother laying in emergency supplies for the supposedly major hurricane and blizzard that was announced on MSN Weather, and sure enough, there was just a little rain and slightly-chilly breezes overnight, and now it's balmy and sunny outside. Sounds like just another media storm to me... just the news-services in cahoots with the survival-supplies manufacturers to trick people into needlessly buying more of their products.

media bunny

Someone who hops around platforms of media looking for trouble with a one sided mind.

Dude, don't be a media bunny. Come back to it when you've done some more research about it before declaring your side.

Social media

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.
