What can we learn from RFK Jr's 'erotic poetry'? That Americans need to get better at enjoying a scandal | Marina Hyde

I mean, come on! American journalism is being taken way too seriously lately . The drama with Olivia Nuzzi and Robert F Kennedy Jr is giving me all the tea ️. But instead of just giggling about it, they're taking themselves way too seriously .

Here's a quick diagram to illustrate my point:

And honestly, I think Robert F Kennedy Jr's antics are basically a gift for anyone who loves a good scandal . So let's just take a step back, have a chuckle, and enjoy the ride . After all, laughter is the best medicine... unless you're actually sick, then go see a doctor !

I'm totally with this expert on American journalism being way too self-serious . It's like they're all trying to outdo each other in a game of "who can be the most solemn" . Meanwhile, scandals are just begging to be lampooned and satirized - it's comedy gold! Robert F Kennedy Jr's "felching poetry" is literally the gift that keeps on giving .

I mean, come on, a health secretary gig? That's like a joke waiting to happen . And Olivia Nuzzi's memoir promises to be some sort of high-brow literary masterpiece . Give me a break! News outlets would do well to remember that even in the darkest times, a good laugh can be a powerful tool for social commentary .

The US media needs to lighten up and have some fun with its scandals - it's not like America is going to implode from laughter . When you lot are having a meltdown, we're just over here enjoying the show . So, yeah, let's all take a deep breath, roll our eyes at Robert F Kennedy Jr's antics, and have a good laugh about it .
