Counties move to ban synthetic ‘Spice’ dope
This is why we read County News, NACo's biweekly newspaper. Who knew about synthetic dope? Add "Spice" to the massive list of challenges counties must address each day.
I Want My CNN
Changes are in the works at the Cable News Network, AKA, CNN. It sounds like they are continuing the basic prime time philosophy of the network, which is straight news and interviews. Of course, Fox News is the prime time ratings winner and has been for a decade with its right-leaning opinionated-based programming. MSNBC and its left-leaning prime time opinionated programming are far behind in the ratings but have made some gains. I think CNN's problem is that by the time 8 p.m. ET rolls around, most Americans who care already know the news of the day, so they much prefer a hearty debate over the issues. I think CNN should have at least one show on in prime time with a McLaughlin Group or Crossfire type roundtable. They could easily pull this off and not be accused of leaning to far left or right.
