Why can't the news anchors just report the unbiased, raw news. I realize that there is an alarming shortage of well-read, knowledgeable audiences in America but do we really want the news to be skewed to the right or to the left. Whether you are a conservative, liberal, independent, or libertine surely you want the news presented in a balanced way with all aspects equally reported? How else can we develop an informed understanding? I don't want someone thinking for me and I don't care what my favorite movie star thinks about a subject ..... they shouldn't sway my opinion either. You have CNN to the far left and FOX news to the right, wouldn't it be novel to have the ATN news channel nationwide (ATN ..... that's Absolute Truth News).
Autumn is my favorite season. Each year I look forward to the air turning crisp, the crunch beneath my feet and, of course, the beautiful colors. In Tennessee we have the most wonderful colors in October and November as our state has the greatest variety of deciduous trees in the nation. Unfortunately, that also makes TN one of the worst states for those who suffer from allergies. And it's also time for football ~ high school, college, pro ..... football is iconic in the south. We make tailgating - an art, BBQ and chili - a tradition, and frozen toes and noses - a badge of honor. There is nothing quite like fall in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. Is that Tennessee Pride? Well they say pride goes before the Fall ........
