In a world where anything that is actually important news travels faster than the speed of light to those needing to know.
By the time this 'journos' first key was pressed the whole world knew that Trump went into the crowd and saw the problem first-hand.
I'd be more inclined to believe it was a set-up back in the day, to make him look good. But this is just pathetic and undermines whatever faith people had in the Fourth Estate to its core.
When I first read 1984 I thought it overly exaggerated how quickly people forgot or were willing to forget the cost and availability of chocolate rations and who they were at war with. I also thought that most people in first-world countries had reached the psychological level of self-actualization.
Now I see that I was wrong on both counts.
There was an episode of South Park where they travel to the future and everybody is part of a "science!" religion.
At the time I thought, "this is funny, but that's not how science works."
But Trey and Matt were right. That's not how science works, but it is how people work.
