I usually write about lighter media on Mondays, but after the gamified news cycle we just went through, I figured it would be more useful to talk about major oversights in how the Iran conflict was presented in legacy media.

Breaking news feeds rarely empower us, so much as trade on our fears, excitement, and wartime trauma.

We deserved context that would have better prepared us for those tense moments. We can still lean into better, going forward.
