I used to read a whole news site from a country I won't name. Over the last 18 months, the articles just stopped mentioning certain people. It's like they vanished from the story.

How do you even keep track of it all?

Yeah, "not newsworthy anymore" is one way to put it lol. I've seen that happen and it feels less like a natural news cycle and more like someone just hit the delete button on history. It's not that these people stopped doing things, it's that the story being told got edited. Makes me wonder what my own local news just decides to skip over, you know? I'd probably vanish from the record too if I owed my buddy twenty bucks.

Ever notice how the news you don't see shapes your view as much as the news you do? When people disappear from the story, it quietly changes what we think is normal. That silent edit is the most powerful kind.
