a: the media ~
b: a pool of hungry carp
What:
" It's not a conspiracy -- unless you want to call it a conspiracy of stupidity. Left to its own devices, the media is like a pool of hungry carp on a continual, mindless feeding frenzy. When one carp swims after a crumb of bread, all the other carp swarm as fast as they can to get a piece of it. They will attack anything that generates view or clicks, with little regard to its accuracy, importance, or social relevance (unless their masters tell them otherwise)."
