Distract the masses with the 'birthright citizenship' ruling, while simultaneously giving the 1% what they paid for: more influence over elections/legislation. 4D chess.
Well it’s by definition a distraction as it sucks all the air out of the newsroom. Doesn’t mean it’s not important just that it’s such a big story that any other rulings are gonna fly under the radar.
Yes, I suppose by that same definition 9/11 or World War 2 were the distractions of their time. Makes sense.
(Hint: that's not a useful nor typical definition of distraction)
Yeah fair enough at least NYT was giving it sub-headline status a bit ago
