I'm 'USA left wing' but NPR isn't doing itself any favors with this kind of angle on its stories. Eating bugs is a real story for example on hacker news https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20479426 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20479426 Think about the quote in their story: '"I don't want to eat the bugs. I don't want to live in the pod. I don't want to be trapped in a digital jail, and nothing they can do will make me," she said. Memes with similar wording have been circulating on social media.' If you were a journalist trying in good faith to put your finger on the pulse, what would be the important social-political-economic story behind this quote? The story isn't 'a conspiracy theory about eating bugs'. It's about deeper things like the disruption of the power process in modern society, falling life expectancy in USA, reduced ability of young people to buy houses, increased deaths of despair, etc.
