Any one else notice that we keep having 'news' stories about peoples opinions? I was watching the actual news (don't do that much lately) and the 80% of their 'reporting' was getting peoples hot takes on what happened. Like, wtf do I care what some random fuck who was filling their gas tank up while you were on site 'reporting' thinks about some kids stealing shit from that gas station?
That sort of content is extremely cheap and nearly effortless to produce, and fits easily in the nooks left after all the important advertising has run.
