At 6:00 PM I channel surfed to check out the top stories on Fox, MSNBC, CNN, and the three local news affiliates for NBC, CBS, and ABC.

Five out of the six led with Puerto Rico and how dire the situation is down there or Tom Price being fired followed immeidately by Puerto Rico.

One led with a 10 minute piece on how rotten it still is for NFL players to be spitting on our veterans and our flag.

Which leads to a question. The NFL is a private corporation run and managed by the 32 team owners. 28 of the owners (4 have remianed silent), the commisioner, the coaches and staff, and the players are unified in being for the right to protest during the anthem.

Pretty sure there something on the books that states a US president can not meddle in the affairs of private corporations without first going through proper governmental channels. (in case you're wondering, Twitter doesn't count)
