Thanks for your mention of Elkhart, a very nice town, where people aren’t bitter. May I share an anecdote? I am the City Attorney for [a nearby town]. A few years back, the city’s cable TV franchise came up for renewal. I was directed by the city council to negotiate with the cable company and to insist that it get rid of CNN and replace it with Fox News. … The conclusion to the negotiations was a glass-half-full resolution: We got Fox News, but the cable company kept CNN.
