28. They can chew gun and walk at the same time

the death of a president is when news stopped, or used to. The death of an entertainer was not treated this way until relatively recently. Trust me, CNN-I, did not do this. Their audience is far more sophisticated and would not tolerate 24 - 7 coverage. They prove they can if you watch both channels side by side.

And by the way... climate change is far more significant than any of us. As to H1B visas, tell me when was the last time you saw that on CNN? Please do, link if possible.
