As usual, the media has gone absolutely, ape gaga over ONE topic, "Ukraine/Putin." There's a little bit about unrelated headlines and other stories but mostly just one subject. First, it was police brutality with Floyd, then COVID- ad nauseam, now war drums. Oh, the drama! There are other problems like inflation, supply chain problems and oil.

This kind of hyper-coverage about the Ukrainian conflict bores the shit outta me, how about you? And, YES, I know that "it is what it is," but they could run concurrent news along with top headlines besides looping scenes of Russian aggression.

"The media" consists of for profit corporations — they run with whatever draws ratings.
 
I am so old that I remember TV when there was just 15 minutes of national news.

Some man (no woman) would sit at a desk (perhaps with a map on the wall behind him) and read the news.

People usually got the news from thick (100 pages or more, including classified advertising) printed newspapers.

I still read the NYT — I just do it online now.
