Current events concern the topics, such as politics or weather or culture and all the rest, that are important to present to public consciousness so that there is an informed citizenry. But because newspapers have to fill so many pages and tv and cable media have to fill up so many hours and because the readership and viewership have to be entertained, also covered by current events are the police blotter, zoo animals, “human interest” stories about an old haunted house, snow storms when it's winter and heat waves in the summer, adding a bit of dread so as to appeal to those apocalyptically inclined, as well as important political assassinations and wars and scandals, leading back from Hunter Biden’s laptop to Sherman Adams, whose wife was gifted with vicuna coats when he was the first white house chief of staff, adopting for eisenhower as president the title used from the military where Beedle Smith had been chief of staff when Ike was head of eto. Different news organizations cull what appeals to their ideology, as when Fox News reviews or invents Biden scandals, but that does not mean, as Morning Joe on MSNBC suggests, that we are in a post information age. Newscasters and news reporters have always culled information, and offered their slants even if Fox News is the only network that deliberately lies about what its broadcasters know. Back in the old days, New York’s Daily News presented one take of the world and the mainstream Herald Tribune took another and Dorothy Schiff’s Liberal New York Post took an exposure to Joe McCarthy early on.
