What's New, I Asked

What's in the news today? Hate? Lies? War? Murder?

Yes, for sure... And how about covering things that are good for a change?! E.g., all flights at OHare Int'l Airport departed and arrived on time today! marking the 3rd day in a row that's happened. Hats off to our take-off and landing crew. Let's interview one of them to see what's responsible for their success... What do you think? A positive read for a change? Maybe?! :) gw

So true, Gershon. Sometimes I feel like turning off the new and never turning it on again. Just live in my own little cocoon. They get onto a theme and beat it to death. I'm sick and tired of dead horses!

And with the polarization that's gone on, the stories either just confirm what people think or antagonize them no end. I think that what's systemic in the USA is polarization. From 1950 - 1979 you couldn't tell too much difference between the parties really. There were conservative Democrats, like Scoop (Henry) Jackson, who were more hawkish than Republicans. Rockefeller was more liberal than some Democrats. Now? The parties are polar opposites. Cheers, gw
