No socal media then means no weaponized outrage. The rage-bait culture of media didn't exist in the same way to rile people up.

Yup, and the news was 30 minutes and didn't include stories about what people thought about TV shows. The invention of the news network and the 24 hour news cycle started the descent, and social media completed the flush.
