      I remember a time when the United States actually took a break from reporting on elections instead of manufacturing hype for four solid years between major elections.

      The current political media landscape is exhausting, and I’m so sorry to everyone who is young enough to think that constant election projections are “normal.”

        Multiple 24hr all-news channels + produced as an entertainment & engagement product + people thinking that what smart informed people do is watch the news channel all the damned time. It all adds up to this crap we have today.
