Perhaps they're tired of being tricked into reading or watching. With every story "optimized" to tease its dire implications, people get nostradamus-fatigue syndrome. News used to be a tool to let people spend a little time finding out what's going on before they went back to their regular lives. But with 24/7 coverage of everything everywhere all at once, news has just become another form of entertainment. It's like a combination "reality show/soap opera" for a post-literate America and world.

This is such important work, Jack, and your Newsreel concept has never been more needed. I encourage everyone who can to support it.
