If television networks are going to provide a platform for the president to lie to us in real time about the nation's response to COVID-19 while trying to minimize the impact of the pandemic, they should run a zipper on the screen with the names, locations and ages of the people who have died from COVID-19.
Why is this important?
By taking this action, television networks will provide viewers with a definitive reminder of the seriousness of COVID-19 and its impact on families and communities all over the country. Seeing the names of the dead will force viewers to recognize the human toll of the failures of the Trump Administration to deal effectively with the virus.
