To expect the news to ignore it is unrealistic.

The real problem is the news companies are for profit organizations, and reporting the important news of the day is just a part of the profit equation. If inflation sells views, and the January 6th investigation does not, it's indicative of a larger problem both with news organizations and our electorate.

And I suspect you'd get a lot of disbelief in a wider audience.

I'm not saying corporations aren't raising prices because they can, but I also believe their costs are going up as well.

Not many people are paying any attention to a Trump court case as it has no effect on their daily life.
