Million dollar homes that insulate them from the danger that lurks outside. In Timing's Off, we take a look at the intersection of those insulators and the phenomenon of the 24 hour news cycle to ask the questions: “Are we really ever safe?” “Are we doomed?” “Is our fate sealed by the chyrons floating past the bottom of the screen?
