"Paul Levinson's It's Real Life is a page-turning exploration into that multiverse known as rock and roll. But it is much more than a marvelous adventure narrated by a master storyteller...it is also an exquisite meditation on the very nature of alternate history." -- Jack Dann, The Fiction Writer's Guide to Alternate History

A Tale of Two Tickers

I didn't bother to take photos of this, but I couldn't help notice the slightly different headlines or tickers MSNBC and CNN attached to their coverage of  Republicans bowing and scraping around Trump about his "leadership" in getting the destructive new tax bill done:

MSNBC: "GOP lavishes praise on Trump"

CNN:  "GOP heaps praise on Trump"

Since when did MSNBC become so genteel? CNN is probably more entitled to be angry at Trump than is MSNBC - after all, CNN was the first to be called out as fake news by Trump bellowing at a news conference, almost  a year ago in January 2017 - but I'd give the edge on the more accurate headline to CNN anyway.

I left the TV screen before I had a chance to see how Fox characterized this. Anyone know? Maybe, "GOP gives long overdue praise to President"?
