Media contain commercial meanings.
Media contain social and political meanings.

The more I see these stories, I believe these are the same people who worry that tech ruins kids, so they film themselves destroying an iPad (while kids cry in the background) using either a hammer or shotgun, then post to Facebook about good parenting 🤷🏻‍♂️ https://www.theverge.com/2021/1/14/22231749/parler-interactive-map-video-gps-capitol-attack
