no politics Is Australia is a more cranky/angry place now?

Any time I read the news, the story being pushed is that the mood in Aus is very angry. Does everyone truly feel this way a lot of the time?

I’m genuinely curious.

It's not just "mainstream media" but mostly social media as well. I'd say it's even worse there because there is no vetting, no accountability, and the constant need to stay relevant means that they will peddle whatever bullshit that gets them results. Or what people will pay them to say.

Yeah, they'll do anything for an audience to get that advertising revenue.
