And so in 2024, Donald Trump was never behind.

That poll PBS NPR that had him down four points was beyond, that was crazy.

The Iowa poll that had him down three when he won by 12 was crazy.

But they served their purposes.

And you think that they would be so discredited after 2016 when they were off and 2024 when they were off and the primaries in 2026.

And yet it's kind of like Lucy and the football.

We keep going and quoting the Harris-Harvard poll, the PBS-NPR poll, Gallup.

And they have no reason to enjoy that reputation.

And it kind of made me think of when I was a kid, we didn't have cable at my house.

We had like six channels, right? ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, and like PBS or whatever channel six was.

And then like this local television show.

I remember on Sunday, my dad was a big outdoorsman and he loved this show called Nature.

She still has those symptoms, but says she's now back at square one while doctors investigate what's been causing them.

PBS spoke with Johns Hopkins neurologist Dr. Michael Kornberg, who noted there's no single definitive test for MS. and that other neurological conditions can produce similar symptoms and MRF findings.

He emphasized that most MS diagnoses are clear, but second opinions can be useful when a presentation is unusual or uncertain.

And that wraps up this edition of MedLines.

Joseph Rosendo is the award-winning host and producer of the PBS TV show Steppin' Out.

He tells me about Ireland's Pooka Festival that takes place every Halloween.

I'm always fascinated with different holidays and how they're celebrated.

I don't know why that's not showing up at the ballot box, but we'll see.

Tom Ozemeck at the Epoch Times has this one on CBS News, and PBS reported it too.

Alaska's ballot has two Dan Sullivans, right? That almost sounds like a LGBTQ book for children, young children, right? My family

has two Dan Sullivans.

Yeah.

I told you when I was a kid, we turned on three channels, maybe got PBS, Big Bird.

Like I would have never even had access to that.

MTV came out when I was like in high school, but it was a dude dancing normal in a microphone.

Now, I grew up as a kid with basically three network television channels, ABC, CBS, and NBC.

And if you had an advanced UHF capability on your Los Angeles area television, you could get PBS, the public television channel.

Well, today, the average mid-level satellite TV package offers subscribers around 190 to 240 plus channels.

That's mind-numbing.

And, you know, like what were some of the things that you were like, we need to make sure that we are putting into this world.

I think we just look back at our childhood together and like the, the times that like we shared in like the same sort of things like, uh, you know, Star Wars and, and superheroes and, uh, TV shows that we'd watch on like PBS or, or, uh, you know, the stuff that we did at church, you know, and, and all that, obviously like there, there's so much history between all of these like inside jokes and little things that we did together, even like the little movies that you'd make with like, you know, you and Josh and Carl and, and all that.

And, and sometimes I'd help in there, you know, as well, you know, if I could, if I was around the area and like, they just like blossomed out of just hanging out and, and, uh, being together and, and, and just having fun, uh, in the most random situations too, you know, like, like I said earlier, like we just be, you know, just sitting around, you know, just, uh, talking about like whatever or doing whatever and multitasking, you know, in something.

And like, we're just coming up with like this new random, uh, side character in this, like own little, you know, story arc, you know, and, and, uh, It's funny how we remember all of that stuff after all these years.
