It really feels like the coverage of these stories are a smokescreen and hide the true villains. "Live Nation and Ticketmaster are monopolies!" (Most musicians: I know I can't sell music online anyways, and need a villain collecting money for me so my fans don't make me the bad guy) "Larry Ellison: look over here, my son and I are totally corrupt and friendly with the Trump administration, and by the way, Trump hates DEI!" (Saudi sovereign fund: you think we will only censor Kimmel and Colbert because they're making jokes about Trump. Sure, go ahead and think that...) I'm definitely not saying the public facing villains are not villains. I'm saying it often feels like the bigger villains are the ones hiding behind the curtains.
