Of course there is another hot item in the news Over the last few years, I’ve seen quite a few people express outrage at the media “taking our attention with the next big story”. It’s often framed as a way to hide “what’s really going on”, but I see it simply as media outlets doing their job.
Hmmm. The timing of Russia’s unprovoked invasion of the Ukraine was not a figment of the media’s need for “the next big thing”. On the other hand, perhaps the media’s need for a story became an impediment to Putin's desire for a quiet and blitzkrieg annexation of the breadbasket of Europe. If that’s the case, I say “Great”.
