so i guess npr’s angle right now is that Actually! gun violence is why the life expectancy in the US is relatively short NOT health insurance. it’s “complicated”. and then some mumbling about car accidents. mostly incoherent and mostly completely missing the point. so thank you for that npr!

#more and more keeping up with current events feels like a complete waste of time #i’m soooooooo tired of news outlets being like ‘don’t everyone freak out just stay calm’ and then moments later share stories like #‘OH MY GOD HE PICKED A CHILD PREDATOR FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL WHO ABSOLUTLY WILL NOT BE CONFIRMED BUT WERE GOING TO ACT LIKE THIS IS HAPPENING’#anyway just have the strength of your convictions and settle the fuck down and report the goddamn news!#i think journalism could be something really special but capitalism undermines the integrity of literally every news source #so here i am in my fake news era hate it when he’s kinda right but in the wrong way
