the media is to blame.  it's to blame for a lot of the crap afoul right now. 
I think it would be accurate to do a 'search and replace' "the media" with "the masses." 

The news wants ratings.  They cover what we will watch.

I was just out star gazing when all of a sudden I saw what looked like about ten stars that just moved across the sky in a single file line. I watched them until they were out of view. I can't even speculate about what THAT was.

I can't watch "news" on TV very long, other than perhaps a business channel briefly in the AM.  I don't watch ESPN other than games, and really only CFB.

I can read on line faster than they give the news and without commercial interruption, and I skip the latest gossip on some movie star or Bill Gates.

I usually watch CNBC in the AM with my coffee just to see what's afoot.

Not that anyone much cares, but in Book Four, Lucy has twins, this war ends, for now anyway.  John goes back home to Virginia.

2021 Chevrolet Suburban Diesel Review - Duramax Suburban Tested (roadandtrack.com)

I always liked the Diesel concept in a truck or large SUV, and today the engines are refined and fuel efficient and torquey.

Torque is more important than hp in my view.
