Another dispatch from the future of news, CNN I-wire/life-wire style. People are likely to marry people that are like their parents, for better of for worse. Mildly interesting, and this nugget of everyday brilliance.
the women share a love of cooking and talking on the phone.
I hate being mean, but who shares a love of talking on the phone? Even if many do, I don’t want to read about it on CNN.
I long for the quaintness of foreign news desks. Oh, and the life-wire report ends with suggestions of how to make your life better, things like talking about “life-issues.” I could handle this on CNN if I didn’t see my local big-city paper slowly transitioning from hard news to tripe. I am probably on the wrong side of history with my love of the paper, but come on, talking on the phone?
