Proof.
Tonight's CBC radio news LEAD: a mine rescue in Laos.
Not Russia's attack on Romania.
Not a far-right-Jewish-led genocide in Palestine.
Not the grim environmental situation.
Not the ubiquitousness and toxicity of plastic.
Not the pointless, wasteful overcrowding of space.
Not the US president's abandonment of decency, sanity and wakefulness.
So proof.
Proof of what?
An audience trained to receive entertainment and gratification.
Anything but news.
