      I watched a movie from the 90s yesterday about civil war breaking out in America. There’s a scene where one newsanchor calmly tries to report on other news and the other newsanchor has an absolute meltdown telling him “fuck off, there is no other news”. I wanna see a reporter melt down like on air in real life. I wanna see the insanity be properly acknowledged

      Yeah, I’m generally used to American media doing that by now but this headline is just so absurdly dismissive of non-American lives that it’s infuriating
