Yes... this kind of production has a purpose: It is not to educate, but to 'depress' its audience.
Many of these listed items are not suitable to be expressed as a bullet point, in a litany of bullet points all expressing negative things.
I get that many people feel they need to provide "media in a minute" productions. They are easier to monetize.
I get that we "accept" the diagnosis provided (and repeated endlessly) by popular media that no one has any 'attention span' to speak of.
But some topics (like most of those on this list) cannot be properly expressed in a few seconds.
I can envision myself pulling this presentation apart - demonstrating the overlaps and self-feeding emotionalisms... but it would take hours and hours, and very few would be likely to appreciate it, or even attend.
Suffice to say, my response is: "Take heart... you are not blind to this, and that alone is a very good thing."
