Has gotten less attention in the Joe Kahn interview, but the idea that campus politics, and student protests in particular is "a giant story" is framed as a cultural issue.
This framing draw attention away from the actual subject of the protest - the war in Gaza.

![Ben: When it comes to Gaza, has the focus on the domestic U.S. reaction become disproportionate to the focus on the war itself?
Joe: I think the explosion on campuses all across the country is a giant story. I don’t make any apology for throwing a bunch of people at it and trying to get as much detail as we can. We haven’t pulled anybody off the war. … But it feels, to me, 1968-ish, in terms of youth culture, campus culture. The disaffection of young people towards establishment-everything, including establishment media [and] the Biden administration, but school administrators, too. We’re still at the early-middle stages of understanding the totality.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2rrp7amblhg3xoly5n5huiqv/bafkreihwdxyoyei2nrpsjmhzuugo6titvlwykpiubk3ec7y4ueoinhlaci@jpeg)
