They’ll all pretend to be very concerned by it. But in fact, this behavior happens all the time, and the media loves it when it happens, because it lets them fill air time on slow news days.

Every time purple-haired climate nuts deface a historic work of art, or throw paint on the side of a building, it’s usually good for a quick 2-minute segment on cable news and a few viral posts on social media. “Why are those theater kids so upset with the Mona Lisa?”, befuddled panelists will ask themselves. “Why are the Oberlin sophomores at the Sunrise Movement surrounding that politician who’s just trying to get to his car?
