Previously every story was reduced to a sound bite and played on an endless loop for the OAN and Fox audiences. Now all the major media outlets are now doing the same thing. On the internet monotonous fifteen-minute-long videos do the same thing.
Here on DU we see more and more OP's without more than a simple clickbait title that require watching a video to get to the point. So, nothing will happen for 2 or 3 days. Then it will be on to the next development. That's how it is with TV news designed as entertainment.
Obviously, some of us are not entertained. We don't watch their stupid shit. We don't watch their stupid ads.
