I stopped watching CNN a long time ago, because I came to develop wheezing and flatulence whenever I saw Wolf Blitzer. Plus, I think they've become the sine qua non of phony "balance:" ie, if someone says the sun rises in the west you put on someone who "disagrees" and leave it at that.
So I hadn't been aware that Campbell Brown has become a ranter, like me. But what really got my attention was the title of her talks. I'd not seen it before I titled this blog. You'll have to trust me on that.
"The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it." Orwell

"The secret of freedom lies in educating people, whereas the secret of tyranny is in keeping them ignorant" Robespierre
