Downstream with Chris Buskirk | Politics | Movies | Sports | Music

We covered some ground today.  The Brussels attacks were just another in a long string and the response was predictable - but brief.  The outrage at these bloody attacks keeps getting shorter and less meaningful.  For lack of a better response people use hashtags on Twitter and change their avatars on Facebook.  But that doesn't change anything in the real world.  It is often a self-indulgent method of virtue signalling.  We get into its roots and the self-referential, moralistic, therapeutic impulse.  We also get into the Cruz sex scandal.  This story keeps growing.  Senator Cruz has evaded direct questions about his faithfulness to his wife by trying to blame Donald Trump.  But multiple sources including Fox News report that it wasn't Trump, but anti-Trump operatives who planted the Cruz adultery story.  We get you up to date and discuss what might come next.
