I woke up at 4:15 in the morning, a couple of days ago and couldn’t go back to sleep. That is very rare for me but I do have a sort of pseudo-cure; get up and get cold. In this case, I got up in the cold house, didn’t get dressed, and sat in the dining room reading the news from the New York Times and Fox News. The difference was shocking. The top headline in the New York Times was Playing by His Own Rules, Trump Flips the Shutdown Script

Over at FOX News, the headline was: Migrant group demand Trump either let them in or pay them each $50G to turn around: WTF? 

The Second headline at The Times was: TURMOIL IN EUROPE Britain’s Conservatives Will Vote Today Whether to Topple Theresa May.

At FOX, it said: Earthquake, magnitude 4.4, rattles Tennessee, Georgia…The quake hit about six miles north of Decatur around 4:15 a.m., according to the U.S. Geological Survey The shaking was felt by residents as far away as Atlanta — about 149 miles south of the epicenter. I wondered why it wasn’t in The Times and the only explanation I could come up with was that this is flyover country, the hell with them. 

And the beat went on, can you guess which news source had the following headlines in the third spot? Michael Cohen, Trump’s Ex-Lawyer Who Implicated Him in Hush-Money Scandal, Faces Sentencing……Court docs reveal shocking difference between FBI’s treatment of Hillary, general [Flynn]

BTW, in only a few short minutes, I was cold and tired, went back to bed, and immediately fell asleep.
