Can be from fandoms, local acquaintances, niche community forums, social media bubbles, whatever. What’s a big to-do going on that you just don’t care about?

Remember that US midterms are right around the corner. The media networks, which are owned by a handful of billionaires, do everything they can to be disruptive and divisive. Black vs white, man vs woman, gay vs straight, trans vs cis, Christian vs Muslim. Anything they can do to distract people fron rich vs poor.
So the Clancy trial gets blown up with a ton of attention. No one talks about Palestine or Iran. It even quiets some of the talk about inflation and jobs.
Remember the Casey Anthony trial? That was October 2008. Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard? That spanned several years, but arguably most of the headlines were made around August-October of 2020.
The truth is that these kinds of court cases are happening all the time. People go crazy and murder their families. It is waaaaay more common than being murdered by a random stranger. But you only hear about the ones that the Big networks WANT you to, and in a contextual narrative that that create.
