The Meltdown at CNN

There just isn't enough interesting news! There's no opportunity for a "centrist" cable news network, because what drives the constant attention is appeals to partisan agitation.

Isn't there some sort of contradiction here? There is WAY more that needs to be discussed than is being discussed.

You're conflating "needs to be discussed" with "interesting."

C-SPAN has tons of content around things that need to be discussed. Few outside policy wonks, poli sci students, and those in recovery from one of the former would consider it "interesting."

This is a good observation! A human being's "interesting" detectors aren't well optimized for the modern era.
