When mourning gets a time slot, does empathy become a product? In this episode we unpack CNN’s new interactive grief show with Anderson Cooper — scheduled Thursdays at 9:15pm ET — exploring live comments, GIF therapy, moderated sorrow, and how social media and broadcast metrics industrialize grief and monetize vulnerability. Darkly funny and sharply skeptical, we dig into the rituals, the ethics, and the human cost—tune in for the full take on CNN, Anderson Cooper, grief, live TV, and media criticism.
