I understand. I probably should have said I wasn’t referring to WBEZ specifically, just the overall “let’s turn everything into amazing breaking news you have to watch” attitude of this election. It’s been like that in previous elections too, but they’ve been turning it up to 11, hyping up the idea that the DNC will erupt in chaos and violence.
I don’t like what is happening here and I’m glad they’re reporting it. Heavy-handed police response to protests against genocide is not a good thing. But the media overall is still salivating over the idea that this will end in a massive brawl.
