How to Exit The Outrage Machine w/ David Beckemeyer (#76)

In any case, I loved this chat with David Beckemeyer because at times, we share the outrage and the rest of the time, he helps to talk me down from my own. For anyone that is experience media outrage in any form on any topic, I think this chat might be of assistance.
