So, Justin Herbert and Madison Beer are engaged. Big deal, right? But hold the phone—can we take a moment to dissect how this is being served up on a silver platter by mainstream media? Outlets like TMZ and People are practically salivating over this, treating it like breaking news. Suddenly, they’ve turned a personal engagement into a blockbuster headline. What’s next, a reality TV show about their wedding plans?

Let’s talk about the implications here. CNN could easily spin this into a feel-good love story, making it the lead-in for their usual drivel, featuring the obligatory “love conquers all” narrative. But here’s the kicker: why do we, the viewers, need to care? This isn’t a philanthropic movement. There are serious issues plaguing society—yet the media would rather focus on a celebrity couple’s engagement than address, oh, I don’t know, inflation or the crisis at the border?

And don’t even get me started on how they’ll twist this engagement to fit whatever agenda they’re pushing. It’s a classic diversion tactic. Instead of holding powerful figures accountable, they distract us with shiny stories about young love, while the real drama plays out in politics and policies that affect everyday Americans.

So cheers to Herbert and Beer, but let’s not allow the media to pull the wool over our eyes. Their engagement is personal, not political. The only ring I’m interested in is the one serving justice to the issues at hand.
