The Donald in the news lately reminds us of our appetite for ignorance, stupidity and bad behavior. Media attention for questionable behavior is better than no attention, and we eat it up. Issues that require time and thought are glossed over so we can get to the entertaining shenanigans of celebrities.
I don't know about you, but I don't give a damn about how much movies grossed last week or
grade-D celebrity birthdays or the results of the nth self-serving awards event. Still many people must, because it fills the daily news.
Sometimes I think Americans are so numbed by media and entertainment that thinking comes just too hard. If I'm a cynic, let me know.
