This is infinity less important than climate change but is still better than hearing about, for example, Trump, because the more vapid portion of our media is having serious discussions about civil and individual rights.
I remember when people complained that Britney Spears was distracting people from the PATRIOT Act, Guatanamo Bay, and the Iraq War. How ironic.
Do you think the resemblence between the way Britney Spears was frequently described in 1998-2008 and the way Trump talks about women made people more sympathetic to Britney Spears?
