I sometimes wonder how much social media has influenced their inflated opinions about themselves. It's fun to watch some of them on Twitter basking in the attention from their "followers." I don't understand it, though. The last thing I'd want is hundreds of thousands of people waiting on me to say something.
I've tuned most of the TV news out, too. Very refreshing!
Could be how narcissistic our culture has become, which is even better for tuning most of the media out.
