Love your show, but The Hot Zone is not fiction, it is a factual account of the first Ebola outbreaks.
Thank you for your service, Mr. Bernstein.
So for months and months there has been an Africa story that even American editors cannot deny is "a story." Even Donald Trump noticed.
What will it take, then, for the Washington Post to not be "between Africa reporters?"
Newspapers wonder where their readers have gone. This segment, interviewing a real live (if very temporary) foreign correspondent, who is not just embedded with some army somewhere, makes would-be readers wonder the reverse.
