The Israel/Hamas war even threw Trump off the news. All a gift to Putin.
You brought up the Nigerian girls. I’m old enough to remember the Iran hostage crisis. We were glued for literally years to that story. But news and the media were so different then.maybe we were too.
Maybe you should visit affected communities in Southern Israel before you are so quick to judge Israel's response, or at least view the 45-min horror film of Hamas' extreme brutality, like many respectful journalists have done (such as Douglas Murray)
It's a tough situation. We need an awareness of everything going on in the world, but only have so much attention. Is it all about the clicks, or are the clicks about the algorithms? I haven't bought a print newspaper for a long time. They did give me a balance of information because they exposed me to a variety of information, without some tool telling me what I should be interested in. I live in New Zealand where fish and chips used to be sold wrapped in newspaper and there was a saying that today's news is tomorrow's wrapper, or something along those lines. I remember visiting an editors office back in the day when much of the information came in by fax, that looked tough. Now it must be all but impossible without some form of bias, be it heuristic or otherwise.

Ah, I should have mentioned the gift to Putin part…
Also, social media has changed all of us.
