Tonight’s Top Pick is President Biden’s address on the “soul of the nation,” scheduled for 8 p.m. As of midday Wednesday, when this entry was completed, no network had officially announced it would air the speech. So, yeah, keep that in mind when talking about “the liberal media.”
Let’s see what else TV has to offer us for Thursday, Sept. 1. Also, “Who Will Save Your Soul” is a better song than I remembered.
