The job of media commentators is to respond thoughtfully to how people feel, not to tell them how to feel. Which is why the editorials deploring the reaction to the healthcare CEO slaying are such failures of curiosity and understanding, such triumphs of obliviousness and elite panic.

The brazen murder of a CEO in Midtown Manhattan—and the cheering reaction to his execution—amounts to a blinking-and-blaring warning signal for a society that has become already too inured to bloodshed, @adriennelaf.bsky.social writes. theatln.tc/ZRcsrreK

There's a fine line between a journalistic examination and an opinion piece. The line has been unfortunately blurred.
But the reaction is outrageous and a statement on the loss of our humanity is justified.
You give all your autonomy and power away by playing victim.
Society abdicated its authority and humanity.

But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be"
I think a lot about passive killing—it’s why our orchard isn’t fenced. 1/2
Where have we heard this before?

Frankly, they can stay there. The M$M can go eff itself.
Decivilization is when people are denied healthcare.
One CEO gets shot: absolute panic stations, can never be tolerated, how dare you
This is class warfare, the left knows it, the conservatives know it, the maga movement have been gaslit as to who is to blame!
but it's still class warfare & the wealthy & powerful know it, they want to keep you down, keep you from rising up, that is why they want to humanise CEO's
even the image when linking to the survey says that 58% of people had issues with their coverage... he's a "journalist"? Really?

That’s why the powerful men who’ve never faced any can’t understand the public’s reaction.
They got NO BILLS!!!
We were all flabbergasted w the difference in care & expense.
in NYC and get away with it.
America is "profits over people" and the news media has shown they are too
AARP is selling UHC health insurance as the best plan to its members
we know mostly anything stated via media is an attempt at gaslighting,
but also remember that there seems to perhaps be
an effort to *rewrite (censor) history AS IT HAPPENS;
To get ahead of and control any momentum of a truthful narrative.
