Todd Roberson’s blog for the Dallas Morning News is spot on.<\/p>\n

The United States doesn’t need an Ebola czar as much as it needs a “Hysteria czar.”<\/p>\n

The worst fomenters of the hysteria gripping some Americans appear to be the cable news networks. Roberson singles out CNN, with its endless “Breaking News” alerts and its ominous-sounding music.<\/p>\n

He writes about images of men walking around in hazmat suits, helicopters flying over Dallas-area housing complexes and a Nigerian student being denied admission to Navarro College because the school no longer accepts applications from students who come from countries with confirmed cases of Ebola.<\/p>\n

I don’t think I’m going to say much more about this hysteria nonsense. I’m spent. No one at CNN, Fox, MSNBC, CNBC or the broadcast networks are paying attention. I feel as though I’m talking to myself.<\/p>\n

Ebola is not a “crisis” in the U.S. of A. We’ve had precisely one death of someone who came into this country from a country\u00a0infected with the deadly disease.<\/p>\n

I’m with Roberson. President Obama needs to appoint a Hysteria czar.<\/p>\n\n
