I totally agree. But they are human. They will be all preachy again once the grifters leave office. I had little tolerance for their shenanigans and the celebrity worship before, it’s turning into distain as time goes by.
Celebrities didn’t stop talking about the things that are important to them. The media doesn’t want to show people talking about that kind of stuff so it has largelystopped asking them and stopped amplifying their messages.
It’s not that they’re any more or less preachy than anyone else, it’s how their words are framed and presented to the audience that makes it so easy to resent it. They’re just people who generally get an outsized amount of airtime compared to the man on the street sharing his own opinion to the interviewer.
With commercial media, all scheduling is strategy. There is no such thing as a slow news day on planet earth, but if the news it outside the scope of the topics the channel exists to promote, they don’t cover it.
If the news doesn’t fit the narrative and it can be ignored, it will be. If it does fit the narrative they will shop around until they find a person who can speak charismatically on the subject and in the right way. If the news is too big to ignore and is hostile to the narrative then they will impanel a group of experts to tear it down. If they can dress a celebrity up like an expert and stick them on the panel all the merrier for manufacturing consent.

You are correct and much more rational than me!
