“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” ~Benjamin Franklin

Friday Morning – CBS News (Local) 7:00AM

“Coming Up. Special Coverage of the Corona Virus Outbreak”

CBS This Morning – Starring Oprah’s best friend Gayle King – “We are dedicating the entire our to special coverage of the Corona Virus.”
