Focus on the steering direction (while ignoring the pumped oscillation) of a truck that's pulling a trailer along the highway is like focusing on the individuals (while ignoring self-amplification processes associated with electronic-media attention-slicing itself) during a modern-day election and/or terror campaign. The outcome may not be what you expect, or desire.

the medium's message
Attention begets attention. The more neolithic the content the better. The more electronic the medium, the faster.
A focus on the oscillation, rather than on our gut level response to it, may be the only way to avoid spinning out.
Unfortunately, these may not be things that folks learn to correct for in journalism school.
