Jerry Seinfeld delivered the commencement address at Duke University over the weekend, and for many in the media this was how the headlines looked:

Students did walk out ahead of Seinfeld's commencement address, but the number was relatively small -- just a little over two dozen.
Democrat Sen. John Fetterman has been great on the issue of Israel, and he's adding calling out the media to his repertoire:
30 out of 7,000 students walked out.
That’s 0.43%.
Why does the media habitually platform this fringe?

"Journalism" never fails!
Even Fetterman can see that “journalists” take non-newsworthy occurrences and inflate them into national “news”. https://t.co/gDaExPfUyk

Seinfeld delivered a great speech so naturally many in media would rather focus on a couple dozen graduates who thought they were making a point of some sort (they were, just not the one they thought).
And the speech was very solid, on point for Jerry and nothing controversial at all IMO.

Maybe the people who walked out couldn't handle some reality checks.
Here are a couple clips of what 30 graduates didn't want to endure:

Apparently a few graduates thought it was not worth the sacrifice of an occasional discomfort.
