By interacting with a trial she describes as a “pure car wreck” — one that is “accessible, tawdry, and immediately gratifying” — Lewinsky argues the end result is that, “We dispense with critical thinking and substitute the cheap thrill.”
“Such scattershot consumption hasn’t allowed for real comprehension,” she adds. “Instead, we experience only apprehension, knee-jerk outrage, and titillation. It’s like going to the opera and reading a couple of translated supertitles but not
