13. A lot of us remember when cable news emerged.

I remember watching CNN during the coup in the Soviet Union and the first Iraq war. They had journalists on site. They were much better than the "canned spaghetti" network evening news.

Now cable news is passé - destroyed by predatory capitalism. They eliminated foreign correspondence, stopped covering important issues, stopped doing in-depth investigatory journalism. CNN and the others became Fox News lite. Infotainment - with not much info. The fact that "our media" didn't even bother to explain tariffs until after the election says it all.

It's time for us to find new ways to get the news out.
