But AEW and WWE are entertaining…there’s nothing really entertaining in current politics or media.

But there is! Infotainment. It’s way more engaging than regular news or just dramas. It’s just not the good touch.

“Entertaining” doesn’t apply exclusively to pleasant things. Politics and media are extremely entertaining right now. They used to be very boring.

Being boring didn’t make them any less harmful to those not of the chosen few.
