Ah, but Tate’s more famous in the US, in Europe you might pay less attention to the news.

Um, no.

Not me, I’m terminally online and remember the whole fucking pizza box based arrest. But I think normal Europeans care less about American idiots?

He's only partly US American and has apparently spent significant time in Europe. Significant enough to get him into jail.

And for the larger implications in your comment, yes, we read news about the USA, probably most after European. All your media has this entertainment aspect. But tbh that has been increasingly less fun since, say, Jan 6 2021, and none at all since Jan 2025.

Huh? I swear if I asked random people on the street, more than half of them wouldn’t know who Tate or Kirk are. They’re so insignificant, they’re normally not reported on here.

Also what about Estonian media has this entertaining aspect and what does it have to do with Tate or other American pseudo celebrities?

Same in the USA. Except obviously everybody knows the latter now.

Not sure what Estonia has to do with anything here.

You said "your media", meaning Estonian media.
