    I listened to NPR a few weeks ago when they were covering that church shooting and their coverage, to me, came across as perverse. Particulaely tr part where they discussed what the children were going through and how they might be processing the events. In isolation that doesn’t seem tpo terrible of a thing to cover, but given the context of no real political understanding or framing, no idea of actions to take, and the wider complicity in so much violence, including the children in Gaza, it felt more like they were just trying to make purposeless spectacle-making of suffering into a business model.
