    Thanks but I understand the point. My point is, why is Obama telling me? My ability to affect the fates of the migrant refugees is the same as my ability affect the fates of the billionaires: zero.

    If I could choose to save one migrant life or one billionaire from that sub, I’ll pick the migrant life, every time, now matter how you phrase the question. I still think the submarine story is more interesting, in part because it makes me feel less hopeless to think about it.

    And that’s always how it goes with scolding people for what they watch. Tell the news networks. Tell the people who own the news networks. Use your influence to pass laws, Obama. Don’t scold me, what am I supposed to do.

      The news networks only do whatever gets them more eyeballs. If they see that submarine coverage will do that, then that’s what they do.
