the news divisions of CBS, NBC and ABC (I doubt Fox News would cover it), would give some attention to this, and ideally have the author on.

but Ruhle can very often come across as incredibly snide. I know it is her version of "devil's advocacy," but it is often infuriating.

This was brave on every level: brave of @JoeBiden to share; brave of @JohnGHendy to go on live TV to discuss; brave of @SRuhle and her team to have him on. Perhaps a first on live TV. How inspiring for millions who share this challenge.
