This is what I find most troubling. It really does seem to be a spectacle that’s meant to capture attention, only rooted in reality insofar that it’s based off of real-world topics we all recognize and only ostensibly care about.
It’s been at least a decade since news has been a reflection of social norms (I’m in Canada). It feels more and more disconnected and like they’re either pushing agendas or simply filling airtime so they can serve the right amount of ads.
