Queer Satanic: “Those other guys knew the rules and the risks. They made their choices.” There is a deep-seated belief that people only suffer if they deserve it, so if *you* don’t deserve it, you won’t suffer. Same with disability, with homelessness, even with abuse victims or targets of killers (“true crime”).

very much reflective of the lack of any real survival instinct among journalists that they think the big story today is whether biden will step down

“What makes you so confident you should be president?” is an actual question a reporter shouted at the incumbent who just warned about a reckless court decision that imperils democracy

Every now and then, a mean part of me wishes Trump had sent a journalist or 2 to Gitmo last time around. Maybe *then* the media would understand.

You would think! But even then they would act like it couldnt happen to them

“It happened to those guys. Not me.”

"I know they sent Steve to Gitmo after he published an interview with a disgruntled former Trump staffer, but I'm built different!"

“Those other guys knew the rules and the risks. They made their choices.” There is a deep-seated belief that people only suffer if they deserve it, so if *you* don’t deserve it, you won’t suffer. Same with disability, with homelessness, even with abuse victims or targets of killers (“true crime”).
