Inside the past 30 days, I probably have watched more cable-news shows than during the near decade that has passed since this A&J comic first ran.

Only now, there is the additional irony. We watch in hope of getting useful information about the ravages of the COVID 19 pandemic, squeezed in between endless pitches for psoriasis treatment and reverse mortgages.

That’s terrible TR, but has probably happened across the country. That’s why I commented regarding panic attacks.
