Much difference? Why no anger or coverage?
Because nobody told them to be angry.
Yes or another way to put it: no one expects them to be angry so they know they won't be criticised if they don't emote. I know I sound so cynical but I think most of it now is reactionary show (and "it" is most of what we debate on this site); playing to a 24/7 social media frenzy of righteousness; scrambling to be on the "right side".
The issues are real, of course, but the frenzy on top of it is a circus. Roll up, or be damned (cancelled). So the real issues get warped and distorted and go unaddressed; while the majority grasp and gasp for the oxygen of being "on script".
But who is writing the script, and why?
Esoteric, I know, but there we are.
