Of course this isn’t a real problem, its basically a hate-click troll.

If this was a thing I'd be on Infowars, Newsmax, and Drudge all day. Weirdly, I actively avoid those sites.

Just because you don't consume that particular type of media, doesn't mean you are immune to manipulation. It doesn't suddenly become reasonable to say "look at these ridiculous people that see racism everywhere" just because it's on CNN and not infowars. Those sites you listed are popular for platforming this exact style of bad faith reactionary outrage.
