Everything has never and will never be completely fine. Things are better today than ever and continue to improve. Get offline and look around the real world for a while.

Things are certainly better overall, but that improvement is not universal, and not evenly distributed. Clearly. Otherwise, we would simply say "everything is as good as it can practically be," which is something few people are doing. One of the ways in which the world is imperfect is that our media—and our relationship to that media—could be better. Anything in that to disagree with?
What real world?
By most metrics, things were better about a decade ago. We're on a downward trajectory now. Except by GDP.
What metrics do you think were better in 2015?
What metrics? Do you think the millions of people lifted out of extreme poverty in the last decade would agree?
