What deserves our attention most? In this episode, we break down Robert Reich’s latest essay on how sensational stories—like the Epstein files—can overshadow urgent crises such as the humanitarian disaster in Gaza, judicial defiance, and ICE detentions. Through a spirited back-and-forth with the vibrant comment section, we explore whether media focus is misplaced, the powerful emotions these stories evoke, and how ordinary people can respond. A nuanced conversation about outrage, empathy, and the fight to keep every crisis in view.
