Thespionage

(noun)

Theatrical outrage disguised as political or social commentary, performed by actors, pundits, and politicians who mistake hysteria for honesty.

When bad policy meets worse acting — and the show must go on.

"Calling law enforcement in crime-ridden cities 'racism' isn't policy, it's thespionage."
"Hollywood tears, cable-news drama, and D.C. theatrics — all thespionage, all the time."
