News of the World

 

I’m a news-a-holic. I check the local and national news 2-3-4-5-maybe more times a day. Sometimes I see or read about things on Facebook hours before the “news” is broadcast.

I don’t read or listen to many opinion pieces but note what the headlines say. Actually I scan headlines for most of my daily information. A few journalist reports I will delve into but if well written, I get the gist from the headline.

So this week, I’m going to list all the stories that make the news.
