I was just told CNN is going out of business.

My right-wing neighbor says it's a fact because she heard it on Fox news. I had no idea she was a right-winger. I thought she was just a sweet old lady. She is sweet, but I had to listen to her talk about Fox news for an hour. I had to bite my lip so hard I thought I'd lose it.
I'm living in a new apartment and I need all the friends I can get around here, but the price is too high for this neighbor.
Have any of you had to practically bite your lip off?

She might remember old school news programs and take a look.

It will open her eyes.
