    Yea, you can’t just read the news and go huh. anymore, because the news is no longer “this is what happened.” Now it’s “OMG YOU WON’T BELIEVE THIS YOU’RE GONNA HATE THAT this happened AND EVERYONE IS PISSED”

      Actually it’s really not at all. You’re probably just thinking about Reddit/lemmy/twitter posts when you write that.

      Go on like NPR or C Span and actually read the news. It’s fine.
