Wondering

(10)

I love CNN!

I think that CNN is one of the fundamental reasons why I am still alive. I think that CNN was the catalyst which enabled the creation of our modern world. We are here in part because of CNN. We owe our current life to CNN in a very real sense.

CNN is celebrating their 25th anniversary. Well they should.

The Vatican is currently considering whether to annoint JPII a saint. But we wonder: how much of a saint would JPII have been without CNN? Not much, we think. In fact without CNN JPII would have lived in obscurity.

Synergy emerges in this saintly regard. As the Vatican considers whether to pronounce JPII an actual saint, we wonder. We wonder how much international media contributed to prospective sainthood.

We wonder.
