Most media is owned by a few people…

ignoring everything else (esp. given that he was already convicted for doing similar acts as well as a bunch of other naughty stuff to do with money and government documents)

I mean… the courts already gave him a pass… that’s old news, people won’t watch and they wint make money. (and also, again, most media is controlled by those few people at the top)

The American media can only latch onto one “hot” topic at a time and it’s infuriating.

Not unique to Americans. Chinese people, particularly nationalists (by “nationalist”, I mean as in the ideology, not the 国民党 (Kuomingtang) party) are constantly talking about Taiwan and sometimes Japan… like… I don’t ever hear people talk about internal issues…

That’s how propaganda works, every government is trying to control their people through propaganda, but the less-democratic ones are doing it more successfully, the less democratic the country is, the more powerful the propaganda is. They use these single issue to distract from the real everyday issues like cost of living, labor rights, etc…
