Remember this the next time someone complains that we are focusing on celebrity at the expense of real news.

Have a nice weekend.

1. it's a culture !

2. It is wrong to minimize this story.

It is about male entitlement, corruption at high levels, and human trafficking.

3. I think it's an interesting story

But I think Smollet is interesting too and was told that I was being distracted.

6. IMO, This story has a much larger context in our overall culture

and the sexual exploitation of women. And I might add the corruption rife in the sports world.

5. you may have a point regarding focusing on kraft specifically, but the story is certainly real news.

kraft is not one isolated person getting the police involved in a work of attention-seeking pop culture/political performance art or whatever you want to call it.

kraft is merely the most well-known (so far) of a whole lot of people involved in an all too real story about a human trafficking.

just because someone involved has celebrity status doesn't mean it's not a real story.


is the epstein story not real just because some of the people involved are famous?

7. It's better than the dozens of "your candidate sucks"

Threads you had to slog through in GD until the change.
