"Choose your metaphor: muddying the waters, throwing chum to the sharks, cranking up the fog machine, flinging gorilla dust in the public’s eyes: it’s a tactic designed to create adrenal fatigue and news exhaustion, a strategy perfectly designed for our ADD, information-overloaded age, 'this twittering world,' in T.S. Eliot’s words, where people can be 'distracted from distraction by distraction.'"
