A great post that finally made it clear to me why there is so much discussion of the extraordinarily boring story of Brian Williams and the helicopter:
And, finally, there’s the mainstream media itself, which is obsessed with this story out of sheer narcissism — it’s a story about us! it’s about what we do! As long as some people are paying attention to the press, the press is going to bask in the attention and engage in endless chin-scratching about media ethics.
This is just a small excerpt but do read the whole thing. The Brian Williams story is the royal wedding of 2015, an attempt to distract everyone from the stuff that actually matters.
