The medium of television expands and evolves year after year, with technological advances and changing societal norms affecting the overall utility of the format. In the earliest days of television broadcasting, companies used the medium to provide entertainment to households while also disseminating information through news programs. While this purpose holds to this day, the scope and scale of television has exponentially grown.
What started with just a handful of television channels turned into hundreds of television channels and thousands of shows covering a multitude of fields, cultures, and other aspects of society. And with streaming platforms like Netflix and Hulu alongside internet platforms like Facebook and YouTube, viewing audiences have never been wired in more to television.

The world rejoiced yesterday when social media giants Facebook and Twitter finally banned Donald Trump’s accounts. The de-platforming of our Demagogue-in-Chief was long overdue, considering he has been fomenting rage, deceit, and hate speech for several years, which finally culminated in Wednesday’s seditious attack on the Capitol building by domestic terrorists.
Is Trump’s de-platforming too little, too late? Absolutely. But is it still deeply satisfying to see his favorite megaphone snatched from his tiny orange hands? Undoubtedly. Trump’s ban has delivered a deeply cathartic moment of schadenfreude that we as a nation sorely needed.
