Weird. I've been seeing a ton of "alien" news this week. Wonder what's actually happening
A whistleblower testified in front of congress.
No I know, I mean what is the cute congressional political theater actually covering
Nothing? Like I could understand this working back then.... But now?
... But now?
Are you saying that Americans have become too smart to not be distracted with stories like this?
No, I am saying that there plenty of sources of news and we are not getting the news from a single sources even if ones focus on this, others don't. In the past there wasn't much else to check, so big news would take most of a paper or slot of time on the tv news.
But now with internet the pages or slot times are not limited, and there is plenty of other sources or sources from other countries that in the past were not available, so other important stuff isn't hidden because this.
I think you are giving both the average American and the American media landscape too much credit.
