New York Times columnist David Brooks argues that the decrease in viewership for political news is a good thing. He believes the country is 'over-politicized' and that people should seek a sense of belonging and righteousness from their friends, not politics. Brooks uses the 2024 election, the failures of European socialism, and Israel's successes as examples to support his claim that there is reason for humility at the end of the year.
Friday, during his weekly appearance on PBS’s “NewsHour,” New York Times columnist David Brooks argued the decline in viewership of political news was a positive.
“I have to say, I’m thrilled by the decline in viewership for political news,” Brooks said. “We’re over-politicized in this country. People go to politics for a sense of belonging, for a sense of righteousness. You should go to your friends for those things. You’re asking more of politics than politics can bear.”
