Monica Lewinsky blasts digital news: 'The more shame, the more clicks'
Washington Examiner ^ | March 27, 2018

Posted on 03/27/2018 9:14:45 AM PDT by deplorableindc

Former White House intern Monica Lewinsky is calling for a “cultural revolution” in how people consume online news so that “more shame" no longer means “more clicks” and more advertising income.

Lewinsky told hundreds of privacy professionals Tuesday “we need to communicate online with compassion, consume news with compassion, and click with compassion."

"Just imagine walking a mile in someone else’s headline," she said in a Washington speech that was contractually closed to the press.

I think most of us just want Monica to go away - we don’t care if she’s right once in a very blue moon.

Right-Because she has the market cornered on ‘shame’

Monica and David Hogg and so many others' opinions are meaningless. Like the Kardashians, our society seems to honor and respect people who are known to have zero accomplishments - we must listen to them because they're famous for doing nothing.

Your post #20.

.What's most impressive is she actually survived being that close to a Clinton.

Agreed. As for myself, I have two daughters, I am happy for her. Glad that she does appear to be a survivor. Some men could understand the incredible power of a man like Bill Clinton. Perhaps many women can make allowances for her. Just an young girl at that time that's all.

She’s in her 40s now! She needs to go away. Donna Rice did; it can be done. Linda Tripp started a whole new career and is a millionaire and she got worse treatment than Monica did.

Whoops! Another mistake on my part.

Just a young girl at the time.

I was surprised on checking post facto. She was 22 years old when she was with Clinton.

Nothing about either Monica or David commands my respect... absolutely NOTHING!

How can someone reach their forties and not work for a living?? She’s pathetic.

Why, she works at...being Monica Lewinsky. It's hard.

Who would have ever thought that she was concerned about unsavory things? So many apparently still admire her.

She was used up and thrown away. Yes, I feel sorry for her. Not the brightest bulb in the box. There are a million other airheads like her who would have acted the same. She strikes me as someone who should have married young and had babies to keep her busy. I hope she finds peace someday.

If it bleeds, it leads. It’s the news. The more sensational, the more someone can be poked at to drive up readership or viewing; the more it will go on.
It’s basically gossip with a smidge of truth.

Opps, needs correcting. Should read ........”Never the less, the “history” is out there and the suggestion of “guilty” will never go away”. My bad.
