It’s not the “lead” in the reporting though, media is as complicit in the attention-span blackout we’re all experiencing. There are not-bad people in this very post who think this is entirely misinformation because media isn’t leading their charge with this context.
Every headline and every major political story is focusing on what Trump is saying and doing, not the historical context of what our national relationships have been like and what Trump’s history is.
I know we hate this, but our population is eroded. We have like, fucking microplastics in everyone’s brains that are making people not think with words anymore. Everyone is just scrolling and working and slowly boiling to death as the pan heats up. If mainstream news sources actually did their job and showed us what was happening with intentionality and a focus on trying to FORCE people to pay attention, we wouldn’t have gotten anywhere close to this mess.
But the media is complicit. They profit from chaos and they LOOOOOVE donny, he is their cash-cow and they will mourn when he finally passes away, or bursts into a cloud of bats or however people like him die.
It’s journalist’s job to tell you the facts, not to tell you how to think.
If anything is complicit it’s the social media algorithms that just blast information and opinions at people to program to think a certain way without making any effort to do some critical thought.
Believing that the media should be telling people to think the way you want them to think is just being part of the problem. If you haven’t noticed, that way of doing things results in people constantly having extreme emotions which can easily be manipulated by fascists.
Here are 5 sources I found almost immediately linking the latest exchange to the impeachment:
