Indonesian social media is having a meltdown about one of their political elites flying to the U.S. on a private jet AND eating a lobster roll that cost 1/10 of the average monthly salary (the one from Grand Central market in LA)!

I was just having a discussion with my daughter how bad actors and news organizations report things out of context. Social media is really bad with it.
I also saw an article about how most people are not media savvy.
Question everything. -
