This was a big takeaway from years of being edited by the Awl.
Iâve seen many people of various political persuasions say that theyâve seen very little or no coverage of the devastation in Asheville. That may be so, but itâs not really an indictment of the media as much as itâs an indication that your media diet in particular is fucked.

âDriving while Blackâ: Researchers found that Black drivers make up 70% of police traffic stops on roads where only half the drivers are Black.
