HNN-Headline News Network-sister network of CNN -Could Soros and friends
buy that. I know they (Soros) are looking for a "Property" Seems like that would be a good way to get started.

Is it also owned by Time-Warner.

Just a wishful thought.

PS The station that Gore was going to help start up- whatever happened to that?

4. I can't get the site to work. I even allowed popups for the site and stil
just a blank.

Could you just briefly tell me what it says, please.

2. Soros recently bought a little stake in Time-Warner shares. Some
have thought he was "putting his foot in the door." He may gradually increase his position over the next year. It's something to watch. If I recall it was something like 2% of Time-Warner stock he bought...but don't hold me to that...

3. I understand why we'd all like a competitor to FOX, but
I certainly would prefer MSN simply reporting "the News Facts" rather than have a liberal leaning news network.

The reason MSN has strayed from real news is MONEY! What attracts the most viewers? Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who ARE interested in Michael Jackson & Terri Schiavo type stuff. Most things that hit the MSN are the expose' type stuff. The public's desire is what you have to change and MSN will change with it.
