If we’re doomed to toil away until we die, we may as well pretend to like it. Even on Mondays.
I think there is a fine balance in the end. Millennials love going to the extremes simply because of the dramatic trends that are going around social media.

And while our coverage of him had turned overwhelmingly negative
No matter how negative the media gets, all coverage is good coverage for Trump. All of the attention is on him at all times, which is what he wants in the long run. He seems invincible because he gets away with everything. It makes the people feel powerless.

The process is hardly democratic and can get massively hijacked by people in power, especially with modern day media.

We are more globalized now than ever, and that can be both a blessing and a curse when it comes to political elections. The first amendment states that the press is free, but information is seemingly less and less transparent. People need to learn to take everything with a grain of salt, and not to believe everything they are exposed to.

This is more personal experience to add ethos and establish the author's own credibility. It also shows that the author understands the other side and shows that he is skeptical as well and knowledgable about the reality of the world.
-
When I was a university student in the early 1980s, 44 percent of the world’s population lived in extreme poverty.Now, fewer than 10 percent of the world’s population lives in extreme poverty, as adjusted for inflation.
Did this account for inflation?
