- you missed RFK Jr. stories! I know this goes back into July and even June but I feel pretty good in saying so much of the attention he got can be at least partly attributable to slow news cycle. And yes RFK Jr. stories have definitely extended to August.
- as for other past examples of non stories that became stories because of slow summer news cycles. I submit to you quite possibly the paradigm example from the past 10 years; New York Times running not one but two long form pieces about how Alan Dershowitz can’t get invited to parties anymore on Martha’s Vineyard. I mean “chef’s kiss” pure worst stereotype of New York Times in actual article form. Also, clearly an example of multiple reporters trying to get a free vacation to Martha’s Vineyard on the company dime.
- regards to food. I sort of alluded to this another post but the extremely boring answer is it depends. As Tyler notes, in comparing grocery stores, France almost certainly has better ingredients in a narrow sense, but we have better variety. Also, I’m sorry we’re America aka the ultimate melting pot. You can’t just exclude “ethnic” cooking as this is, I’m sorry, American. I mean their might not be a better example of this than the most popular food in America; pizza. Sort of Italian but in actuality really an American invention. So best slice of pizza in New Haven vs best slice of pizza in France? Who do you got?
So a few thoughts
