Unthinkable

“Do you realize how much of cable news is going to have nothing to talk about now that Trump is gone or allegedly gone? Don’t get mad at me here, folks. I’m just saying that without Trump in the White House providing media fodder countless hours per day, they’re not going to know what to do.”

—Rush Limbaugh, right-wing radio airbag, broaching the unthinkable: that Biden might have won the election. See Don Gonyea, “How Republicans Are Reacting To Biden’s Victory,” NPR, Dec. 15, 2020.

Editorial Comment: I suppose news would be out of the question?
