Eyring

Political, Almost, Been

The fact that television and tourism have made the whole world accessible has created the illusion that we enjoy intimate knowledge of other places, when we barely scratch their surface.

Through, Other, Accessible

Through, Shut, Inaccessible

Dumb, Young, Networks

Television, radio, social media. The 24/7 news cycle plows forward mercilessly on our desks, in our cars and in our pockets.

Media, Fighting, Bad

Doing, Reason, Some
