The statement 'Strange, slightly unsettling scene today outside Manhattan criminal court' accompanied by an image of a media setup outside a court, appears to be a comment on an unusual or noteworthy situation, likely related to a legal or public interest event. The statement is brief and lacks substantive engagement with specific public issues, policies, or societal concerns beyond noting the atmosphere of the scene. Therefore, it does not constitute public discourse as it does not delve into any deeper analysis or discussion of civic matters.
