Thought Of The Day

Words can inspire and destroy. They can get you fired as well as drive you to destructive behavior. The bully pulpit has caused chaos and as has been seen through history its been a place where people can be worked up into a frenzy. Maybe people should pause before peril ensues.

This Is CNN

CNN or Cable News Network was founded by Ted Turner back in the 1980’s. It is the first 24-hour news outlet in America and has been a valued source of information for a more than a generation. Cable News Network as it is also known has kept me informed and aware of what is going on in the USA and the world.

Lately its been under attack by the current occupant of the White House as being a spreader of fake news and information. The men and women of CNN have been on the front lines of journalism and news gathering. I support them and appreciate the service they provide. None of their employees deserve the vile words that have been lobed at them. No news outlet is 100% accurate but they work hard to get things as accurate as possible. Its truly sad that they have to endure this and I hope for better times ahead.
