Not giving thanks for this.
I almost never watch cable news, but just flipped to FOX news to see what they’re saying about today’s verdict. Answer: nothing. It was all looting all the time. Focused on San Francisco, but clearly all instances of shoplifting are now part of this looting craze. A talking head said we are witnessing the collapse of civilization - it sounded exactly like Saturday Night Live parody. Another panel was showing SF looting footage seemingly sped up, I guess to emphasize the chaos.
So I flipped down a channel to CNN, and that was all verdict, all the time. The comment I came in on was “…this judge was strong, firm, and fair, and was clearly doing his job rather than angling for a cable news deal.” A comment from a guy with knowledge of the value of a cable news deal, I assume. They just came back from a commercial, and it’s the same talking heads talking verdict.
We don’t live in the same reality. I don’t know how we’re going to fix this.
