Today I learned there's something actually worse than modern country music. (www.youtube.com)
 

Christian country music (sometimes marketed as country gospel, gospel country, positive country or inspirational country) is music that is written to express either personal or a communal belief regarding Christian life, as well as (in terms of the varying music styles) to give a Christian alternative to mainstream secular music.

MSNBC had this doctor on to talk about the horrible situation in Gaza.

3 years ago, MedGlobal was born - MedGlobal

By Dr. Zaher Sahloul, MedGlobal President and Co-Founder

Three years ago, I was in Yemen with three other medical volunteers, providing internal medicine and pediatrics services to people suffering from the effects of war and famine. MedGlobal had just been formed. In between medical consultations, we talked about the goals for the future of our organization, dedicated to providing innovative healthcare to crisis-affected and low-resource areas.

I don't know anything about him - I copy and pasted that for context.

I was listening to in the background so I don't know how long the interview was. I think ~7 minutes at least. I noticed something very unusual. Almost zero questions. Stephanie Ruhle was interviewing him. Ruhle isn't rude but it's her habit to pepper guests with questions. She always does that. I've never seen her be so quiet. Also - MSNBC's PR shtick is that they ask questions and it makes you smarter. I forget an recent tagline - it was something like "Never stop asking questions".

It's the norm that anchors/reporters ask a lot of questions. In one way - the lack of questions was really great. He was highly knowledgeable and informed the audience in stark terms about how awful things are. That's the first time I've seen that on CNN or MSNBC. But the producers must have had him on because even though he didn't pull punches about the medical situation - they knew he was very politic and he'd avoid "politics".

The end result was that the agent of the chaos, Israel, hardly came up at all. It was like these horrible unfolding health problems were happening all by themselves due to unknown or poorly understood causes.
