I love how it's easy for people to believe that crises actors will happily pretend to be a 12 year old school shooting victim, but the idea of a "newscorp" that would manufacture outrage by presenting "both sides fair and balanced" is just off the table. The POTUS is an actor, but randos on the news, that makes money from engagement of this very kind, has to be real enough for me to melt over. Cuz that's very validating.
Anyway, glad we are all too smart for that and instead spend our energy on these precious moments to love I stead of getting down in the nasty to one up the nastys.
