Mourning on daytime talk shows like Aztec mourners
The piece compares daytime talk shows to ancient professional mourners who incite audience sympathy for paid grief. It explains show dynamics where guests seek validation through shared lament, the host questions to heighten drama, and audiences amplify the mourning. It labels hosts as quacks, outlines paid mourning products, and ends with contact details and a 1990 copyright note.
