Quote by Mo Rocca
When it comes to war, we focus more on the mainstream coverage of the event, rather than the event itself. People dying is never funny. Protest puppets are always funny.
Summary
This quote refers to the tendency of the mainstream media to prioritize sensational and often superficial aspects of war rather than the human suffering it entails. It implies that the audience's attention is more drawn towards bizarre or humorous elements, such as protest puppets, rather than the actual loss of life and devastation caused by war. The quote suggests a criticism of society's selective and sometimes insensitive perception of war, urging a greater focus on the genuine impact and consequences of armed conflicts.
