There used to be a great connection Rochester - Newark- Beijing or Shanghai on Continental... no more..

I am new to Tennessee and am taken aback at how much love and respect he is given here in public. I recently moved from Kansas City and the coverage there was more objective. The Nashville anchors and reporters appear to be living out a collective wet dream while on the air.

There were some protesters that were mentioned on the 6 PM news but they did not bother to ask any of them what they were protesting.
