Reality TV is interesting all the time, because editors twist reality into an endless stream of conflicts and drama. Politics is boring too. So narrowcast media twists it into a trashy reality show I call The Real Politicians of Washington DC." --- # References - https://twitter.com/waitbutwhy/status/1639003265928163328
