A good example of this is Adam Sandler, who everyone used love, now everyone hates him.

I always hated him. I think that what you are remembering is the media's constant promotion of him at a time when no one else had a voice. Now that real people can get heard you are finally hearing people's real opinions.

Just like rotten tomatoes often has raving reviews from critics and rancorous reviews from the public.

No it's the opposite. Rotten tomatoes always gives everything a -1000% when the public likes it. And no one I know hates Adam Sandler, except on the internet. Though there has been this sense recently that comedy is bad and a waste of time, so maybe that's driving it.

How is that the opposite? That is still the (((controlled))) opinion differing from the public opinion. It used to be that only the controlled opinion had a voice.
