Tubi is more than America’s video store. Now it’s our supermarket checkout lane, as TMZ and The New York Post have made exclusive documentaries on Luigi Mangione, the alleged murderer of UnitedHealthcare CEO killer Brian Thompson.
I get the need to race to a headline and a story here, but there’s so much to unpack, perhaps way more than a tabloid take can give us. The New York Post version gives us a breakdown by reporters who were there and a deeper take on why the public has started to romanticize Mangione.
Interestingly, the New York Times refers to him as “an Ivy League-educated tech whiz,” and TMZ calls him “a privileged man.” Over the next few years, if the free press survives the next four years, we’ll look back on this time as when ordinary people looked at murder as a crime that was forgivable, which is something that seemed inconceivable years ago. And yet, while there are issues with the health care system, this was still someone with children. And yet, does Mangione have a point, and was this the only way? — of getting across how bad it has been?
I can’t comment either way. I just watch these documentaries and try to understand a world that seems to be falling apart daily.
