Your post is so good ... I've printed a copy. Well done.
The media treats Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" with all of the seriousness of thermonuclear war. And the public reacts with equal outrage ... for a few days to a week until the next outrage comes along. It has lost the capacity for seeing shades of gray.
So consider this quote from George Bernard Shaw:
"Newspapers are unable, seemingly, to discriminate between a bicycle accident and the collapse of civilization."
we just need to update it to:
"THE PUBLIC IS unable, seemingly, to discriminate between a bicycle accident and the collapse of civilization."
