Check out the difference in volume between CNN & FOX on the Mt. rescue
It's a freakin frenzy at FOX. CNN is subdued and informative.

Wild.

20. Anyone else have a hankering for some double black diamond snowboarding?
I know that's not what I should be thinking, but that snow looks so nice!

Did the lost hikers have skis with them?

21. FOX used to be on all over the base pre-election
Not anymore. It's CNN exclusively now. Will CNN rise to the occasion now that it has a captive audience?
