While people just keep reporting that Barr’s summary is somehow the end of this matter, you can bet things are going to come out in the next few days that shed new light on the story and outlets will be like, Maybe we rushed this? You can set your watch to this stuff.
Our entire media apparatus is just broken. Lightning fast news cycles, a need for eyes for advertisement, and a reliance on definitive takes quicker than everyone else leads to a repetitive cycle that just kills context and digestion.
Trump and his people are so good at this and so attuned to the cycle that they continually manipulate media with little to no difficulty. Already people are saying Trump can redeem his presidency...his lying, criminal, cruel farce of a presidency.
But that’s how it works. What goes up must come down and what goes down must rise. To have a story they’re going to give Trump a narrative bump and completely overlook his crimes and lies and indignities. And they’ll come back around after the damage is done.
