Do remember when Newspapers printed news?

I don't know Ted Turner, personally, but he did send me a note once. As a former hippie, I wrote to him congratulating him on his "One World" initiative, and he answered me. I Kept that note because I Love the man! Anyway, if I did know Ted Turner, I would love to ask him what he thinks of his creation, CNN ? I rarely watch CNN, because, it seems to me, it is mostly the ramblings of uninformed talking heads who avoid the real news as one would avoid the plague. The "news" has been taken out of the cable network. it has become, like its so-called fair and balanced sister, a platform for trivia and and bully pulpit in telling us how unpatriotic we are for not embracing torture as the American way. In spite of the "experts" of the media, I still hold these to be true: Habeas Corpus is a principle not to be trampled with. One's religious belief should be personal and not to be used as an excuse to kill others who don't believe as we do. Oil
