It came up after a recent conversation I had with someone asking when Kevin Spacey's career was coming back, and it's sort of this idea presented in the article, which is if we have this Jesus-like compassion for our celebrities, it is somehow representative that humanity is compassionate. That a person doesn't have to do the hard work of figuring out how to interact with difficult every-day people or actually confront difficult emotions; but that the real work is just to say something like "everyone deserves due process" but only when talking about some wealthy popular figure in the news.
