Watched Biden's address to the nation yesterday, and saved myself much aggravation by hitting the off switch when the announcer (PBS News Hour in this case) said, "Let's bring on our panel for reactions."
Nothing demonstrates the emptiness of TV "news" better than the talking heads whose obvious goal is to generate heat, not light.
