I just want to interrupt your day for 60 seconds to point out something that you’re not seeing in the news.
Recently, a prominent elderly politician fell down in a hotel room and suffered a concussion. That’s the second serious fall he’s taken in the past couple of years. He broke his shoulder in that prior fall.
Currently, we observe the media/social media doing which of the following:
- Claiming that this politician is senile.
- Clamoring for this politician’s resignation, due to poor health.
- Creating and circulating deepfaked videos that exaggerate the issue,to mock the politician.
- Assert that the politician has permanent traumatic brain injury.
- Reporting on the fall and concussion.
Hint: The politician is a Republican.
Answer: 5.
Sometimes, what doesn’t get reported tells more of a story than what does.
