@chrislhayes.bsky.social is right that attention is not a moral faculty but I think he misses an important implication of this. It's not just that we attend to whatever blares loudest, good or bad, but also that there's nothing morally valuable about attending to the things "most deserving" of it.

It's 2025 and the NYT editorial leadership still seems to believe the two ideologies in this country are possible-fascism and civil-opposition-to-possible-fascism.
"The editing became extremely intrusive. It was very much toning down of my voice, toning down of the feel, and a lot of pressure for what I considered false equivalence.” And, increasingly, attempts “to dictate the subject.” - @pkrugman.bsky.social
