    I personally don't have much to say about this, but here are the links to two blogs which have much more to say that I do:

    LanceKnobel


    JayRosen

    The one thing I do find of interest is the description on the page of the second blog which refers to a blog as, "a little 1st Amendment machine."

    A few months ago my remote control developed a little glitch in it. It skips over CNN. The only way I can watch CNN is if I remember what channel it is and manually select it. Funny thing is, I haven't missed it a bit.

    Probably ABC, Fox & MSNBC. I'm not really sure. I just sort of flip through the news channels, stopping for a bit when I see something that interests me. Plus I have a son, so it seems like I never really get to watch an entire show. I like John Stossel's specials which I'm pretty sure are on ABC.
