A heartfelt Thank You to Book Asylum for covering my post on Saturday; I was a hurting puppy and she saved me from having to try to be coherent! (And I do mean try!) Glad to be on the mend now!

I was just on TV Newser and INC.
Feb was a really bad month for CNN.
They need to something now. Their
ratings are falling like crazy while
FNC and MSNBC are gaining. CNN
problems start with American Morn
up until 360 which is the only thing
the network has going for it right now
and even AC360 is down.
