Earlier today, I was watching coverage of what else, but the war in Ukraine and the pundits that were chosen for this particular segment were pretty substandard. The discussion had transitioned to a roundtable, in which each of the three guests were thrown a question. Except one of the pundit's attention was clearly elsewhere, because when the host changed topics and asked her to comment on said new topic, she had to be virtually shaken to get her attention, at which point she commented on the topic that had been wrapped up. Perhaps it's just me, but were I invited onto a news show to share my expertise, I wouldn't be playing Candy Crush while on air. After all, you prove yourself to be eminently TV worthy, you receive more air time and all the cool shit that comes with it, like credibility. The perfect example is the female Asian doctor, who's been all over the media as a Covid expert. (and don't give me shit for the way I described said doctor; had I not added those two descriptors, you wouldn't have a clue who I was referring to) Considering how much airtime she's gotten, from all the major networks, I can't imagine she won't be on Dancing With The Stars soon.
The second pundit was well spoken and remained focused for the segment, which was quite impressive, considering he had just gotten out of bed minutes before air time. Here he is, bedhead and bathrobe.
