        @nytopinion In fairness, I think the media was FAR more "riveted" by Trump than the general populace. Thanks a lot.

        I found initial images of Hurricane Katrina "riveting": inhumane, numbing, senseless, and a blight on American history. So yes

        A lot of words come to mind when describing Candidate Trump but "riveting" isn't one of them. FFS NYT.

        How could misogyny, racism, xenophobia be 'riveting' ... unless you're a white supremacist??

        You got that right Shaun. The coverage was unwarranted, and the "speeches" were goddamned unhinged. Every freaking one of them.
