With all the crazy stuff in the media, it would be easy to think that this country has truly gone mad. However, I work "out there" in the society, and it doesn't appear to be all that bad.
So, what accounts for the dichotomy between the media and the real world? I have a theory on that: the media has to sell products through advertising, and in many cases, the media itself is the product. Being flashy and nutty may actually help sell products.
In other words, they seem crazy, but there is a method to their madness.
But a cautionary note here is that the politicians act upon the craziness as if it were representative of the true state of the culture. In many cases, all too many cases, the politicians are helping to drive the craziness to new heights.
Something has to bring things back into some type of sanity, especially within the political system.
