Being a massive pro wrestling fan i get what he is saying. When he asks why news seems to have got worse the past ten years or so. I honestly think the internet is a big part of it. People are a lot more connected nowadays due to social media and its far easier for people to get angry together at watever event is being reported. Before the internet we all just read the newspaper and maybe you would talk about events with friends and family but thats as far as it went. Now with social media you can have a baying mob with pitchforks screaming for heads to roll within 30 minutes of a story breaking. The whole dynamic of news has changed for better or worse. As affiliate marketers, we all know you do very well in niches that evoke passion. Can be sporting rivals, left and right political parties and even smaller things like Xbox vs Playstation players. Turns out news outlets are the best affiliate marketers of all
