Judge Jeanine has complete meltdown on Fox News
One of the more surreal consequences of the coronavirus is that cable news hosts are operating with skeleton crews, low production values, and a lack of oversight.

Then there’s Fox News host Judge Jeanine Pirro, who’s barely hanging in there under normal circumstances, and completely lost it tonight.

By the time she finally managed to get herself on the air, she blamed “technical difficulties” but let’s just say that a whole lot of people on social media think her troubles were caused by a different kind of difficulty:

If Judge Jeanine wasn’t drunk on air tonight, she sure had a whole lot of people fooled. At this point we’re left to wonder if she’ll still have a show by the end of the weekend. Fox News clearly doesn’t have many standards. But this might be a bridge too far even for them.
