The media thrives on war, and always has.
Every news organization, for days, has been leading with Trump’s aggressive and impetuous (and illegal) strike on Iran and the killing of its longtime leader. The coverage has blotted out almost everything else. That’s understandable, to some extent. This is a huge story, and the public is hungry for information.
But it means that you’re seeing far less about some of the things Trump wants to blot out from existence. Far less about his appearance in the Epstein files. Far less about the corruption of the Justice Department. Far less about his wildly inappropriate role in the future of CNN and his broader effort to control the news industry. (I wrote about this last week in the Guardian). Far less about the Republican plans to disrupt the midterm elections, which are now only eight months away. Far less about Trump’s dismal approval ratings.
