I have to say, I think the latter half of that response is excessively harsh (particularly considering the very moderate tone of the message to which it is a reply) as well as being a sweeping generalisation which fails on two counts : it needs "some" to replace "they" [*], and needs a second "some" to qualify "modern media".
