Thanks to the desensitizing effect of routinely seeing graphic gratuitous violence, and death, it’s possible to unemotionally watch homicide on the news. Not only is murder shown, it can be viewed without a disruptive type of shock that will interrupt the ordinary efforts of daily life. Watching another person get killed isn’t a visceral event; or is it? It seems that the events themselves are secondary to the reporting. Propaganda is real. So what happens to the information that falls into the raw material hopper of a media machine? How did it get there? How is it presented? A juxtaposition occurred to me when I watched the band of riotous people that were trying to break into the Speakers Lobby of the House Of Representatives in the U.S. Capitol. Ashli Babbitt and George Floyd.
