Clearly the feudal lords had the right idea: keep the working class poor, hungry, and uneducated. Better than risking social equity! /s

CNN, like Fox News and every other news organisation, are entertainment channels giving the public what they want.
This is like blaming your alcoholism on Budweiser or your obesity on McDonalds. Sure, it’s certainly part of the problem, but it’s hardly the primary cause.
People are lazy, and learning the truth about complicated things is harder than just making your mind up quickly based on garbage information.

Social instability and riots - I assume you are referring to Black Lives Matter - did not happen due to "too much free time", JFC. They happened because police were routinely murdering Black people and there was/is a massive disparity in wealth.

You must be joking. Free time caused riots and protests? Even the device you are using to view this post is a result of people having free time from having to farm and hunt between burying others due to preventable illness.
An argument can even be made that much of the success of america and the west is the result of free time gained by slavery, colonialism and armed robbery of land.
"Cops should stop killing us" vs "no, cops are great" and you look at that and say "you guys have too much free time, you wouldn't care otherwise"? I smell ulterior motive here.
