Well, CNN would hate this, but they are supposed to be a money making enterprise, correct? So their incentive is to get the information out there, get lots of viewers and make their advertisers happy. (Something they haven't done lately, I guess.)
At any rate, those happy free enterprising reporters at CNN are letting their fingers do the walking -- calling, calling, calling and getting results.
Free enterprise beats govt employees, even if the free enterprisers are from CNN.
I thought socialists were averse to making money?
