Ben made an observation today, about being on Jewish holiday and unplugging from the net and tv. When he did plug back in, the first thing he did was to check on Trump's condition...Ok, Trump is doing ok and that's news. And then, he was deluged by a tsunami of articles on all things that in the end, weren't really important at all.
He made the observation that America is living inside a reality show, driven by the 24-hour news cycle and that's not good for anybody. We get caught up in the unimportant and don't give enough thought to what is important.Which is an interesting observation for someone who makes his living doing commentary...

Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

Agree. I get the newspapers and go through them, and allows me to catch up on the news without continual bombardments. One day at a time.

I'll go a step further and believe the incessant hype/media/social bombardment online and on TV is to blame for most mass shootings and violent protest/fighting amongst the citizenry.
