You're an asshole described perfectly in this passage from the very link you posted but did not even bother to read:
"Nightmares about modern terrorism soar, too, thanks to the echo chamber of the internet. Thirty years ago, you might read a single news report about an atrocity in the papers, and you reaction to it would be tempered by the other pages: the sport, the obituaries, the jollier stories doing the rounds.
Now you can spend all your waking hours concentrating on a single story, infinitely expanded on thousands of blogs, international newspapers and magazines across the internet.
Worried about Donald Trump or a rise in racist incidents? Then you can find a thousand articles that confirm your views and deepen your concerns.
The internet is the natural home for confirmation bias. If you’re terrified by global warming, you’re drawn to George Monbiot telling you the sky is about to fall on your head. If you think the world is going to Hell in a handbasket thanks to idiot Lefties, you may even find yourself in commune with Katie Hopkins.
The rise of social media has both democratised and debased national discourse, enabling “trolls” to generate heat with the posting of inflammatory and offensive comments. Following the killing of Jo Cox MP in June, female parliamentarians reported being sent sexualised taunts and violent threats, with one saying that online abuse had now become part of the job."
