So, did any of you see

Where they interviewed the officer at the scene of the Tiger Woods accident? Did you see where they asked him, “how are you doing? How are you holding up?” Seriously, they asked him that. Did you find that weird? Why would they be concerned about the mental state of the officer at the scene? Would they have asked him that if I had been the one in the wreck? I’m happy Tiger Woods survived. But, this whole non stop worship coverage is weird as hell.

3. I do. But they don't mention that.

They are just worried that the officer was somehow traumatized by discovering it was Tiger Woods. I’m sure it’s not the first or the last bad car accident he’s witnessed. I’m so tired of all this obsession with celebrities and/or rich people.

back in pre trump days, when the rest of the problems in the world were not particularly interesting. the news was trying to reach back to the good old days.
i'm not saying it was good or that they succeeded.

6. The news is a distraction from the Commission on the Capitol riot

There are a lot of key details about the riot that the public may not be aware of.

Tiger Woods got into a car accident soon after the hearings. I could understand if there was a death but the coverage has been over the top. I turned it to YouTube for political coverage soon after.
