> it just annoys me that I should even know who they are Bingo, there's a weird curation of news and pop culture that seeks to fit everything into the media narrative. So you've got the upper echelon of society portrayed in ways that are supposed to key into the narrative applied to common people, as though there's anything relatable between the two. Of course, the people that inhabit the media are anything but down-to-earth, so it's an uphill battle already. They've got their own class bias and relatively monolithic, conformist worldview as a starting point. As far as anyone can generalize an entire profession like that, it seems like this is the only way to explain the mismatch between society & media. The conversation doesn't seem to correspond with reality or any sense of proportion.
