X, do you recall any individual CNN personality being particularly
insistent on this point?  (I cancelled cable in June, so I no longer have
CNN.)

I'm working on a set of satiric trading cards for the current situation, and
would like to shine the spotlight where it is most deserved.  So if there's
a
particularly noxious person I should spotlight from CNN, please let me know
whom to target.

27 cards so far are at

I'm making them for a non-MAPC project, and I suspect they may be rather too
bitter in tone for MAPC to use (they also rely heavily upon irony, which
clouds the message for many people), but if anyone thinks they might be
useful for any purpose whatever, there they are.
