The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

23 hours in, and Sen. Cory Booker is STILL going strong—speaking from the same podium racist Strom Thurmond used to filibuster civil rights in '57 (24 hrs, 18 mins).
Can't wait for justice when Booker blows past that disgraceful record.
History, meet your redemption.
