Eva Longoria made headlines by announcing she no longer lives in America, citing reasons such as homelessness and taxes. Many celebrities have pledged to follow her lead, but the effectiveness of celebrity endorsements in politics is questionable. Marina Hyde criticizes the elitism and ineffectiveness of showbiz endorsements, pointing out that election issues and politicians sway elections, not celebrities. She also highlights the irony of people leaving one social media platform only to join another, questioning the need for more partisan media. Hyde argues for less partisan media and criticizes CNN for appearing to be a mouthpiece for the Kamala Harris campaign. She emphasizes the importance of focusing on news rather than being a tool for a political agenda, suggesting that the current state of media is just another form of merchandise like Trump’s merchandise. Ultimately, Hyde’s view is that the world would benefit from a more objective and news-focused media landscape.
