The internet makes monsters and saints before the body is cold

The internet has dramatically shifted how public figures' legacies are shaped, often before their bodies are cold. The rapid flow of information and the urge for immediate social media engagement can lead to an intense battle over defining narratives. This dynamic can result in hasty judgments, where figures like Graham might be unfairly labeled as monsters or saints based on fleeting social media reactions rather than a nuanced understanding of their true beliefs and actions. This phenomenon highlights the internet's role in both democratizing information and complicating the quest for a fair and accurate public legacy.
