  • Short and informative

    I wish I knew how to express this, but I’m legally blind so I don’t watch TV. I get my news from CNN in all its forms. And “one thing“ is one of my favorite productions in that it’s in-depth and easily digestible. I wouldn’t miss it and I’m delighted that I can hear it on Wednesdays and Sundays.Thanks everyone for the hard work you do to keep me informed.

I think many people want to believe it is real, because it’s wildly uncomfortable to ... more

    Excellent piece on how both parties are preying on the elderly/vulnerable folks for donations. I must get 30+ txts a day and delete/report junk, and still get the same txts day after day which makes me incredibly angry.
