Ive seen so many people claiming some conspiracy or another about the volume of its coverage. These people seemingly have never paid any attention to news for the last 50 years. These sorts of stories are catnip to the media.
If we had known for sure about the implosion to begin with it would have gotten barely any coverage, its the not knowing and the ability to following a developing story that makes this one work so well for our dumb brains.
One channel in the USA even had an oxygen count down graphic in the corner of the screen the entire time.

False hope is worse than no hope. Labour won’t make promises it can’t keep.
Tory mismanagement of public finances will make the party’s task difficult if it wins power, and that is why we won’t pledge what we can’t deliver on.

If you look at any recent footage of these types of bands it's nearly all middle-aged men marching badly in their Primark black trousers. Young people just aren't joining anymore and the whole thing just looks pathetic.

Just get the US Military to build a large structure in the middle of the Ocean to help regulate the climate. We can call it an Atlantic Accelerator.

Then the Military can just station troops on the Platform to guard it from agents of corporations, terrorists and Syndicates.

Wes Streeting apologises to Labour MP who felt ostracised due to gender views

Rosie Duffield had been shouted down in Commons by party colleagues earlier this year for opposing Scottish transgender reforms.

Streeting spoke about the reaction of many women in the Labour party, including MPs, to his comments in a BBC Radio 4 interview in which he had urged trans rights campaigners not to try to “shut down” the author JK Rowling.

Rishi Sunak ordering a review into LTNs because he wants to support people to use their cars is pathetic.

Between him and Starmer, there's going to be so much pandering to Telegraph readers before May, I wouldn't be surprised if one of them offers to burn down every shred of forest in the country to maximise the acreage for vineyards.

Such a oval office. What makes it worse is that he almost definitely doesn't even believe in what he's doing, he's just been told by strategists that it's the best way maximise vote share and positive tabloid media coverage.
