There’s something delusional about a news media that tries to get to the bottom of why the world didn’t come to an end. It makes the mind swim. There was the CNN anchor soberly seeking an opinion from Alec Baldwin’s brother. “What went wrong?” was the opening zinger. Piercing curiosity then demanded, “Why did this get so much attention” (Easy one. Check the mirror). And so it went. “Why do some people call this preacher a false prophet?” the anchor asked, seeking that need-to-know answer. All we can say is thank God someone has the guts to ask these kinds of questions. It’s not every day that the world doesn’t end when the media is pretending that it will.
