I am familiar with that notion. My favorite defintion of information... "a measure of uncertainty reduced."

But what point are you trying to make with it? I wasn't sure.

Did you miss it this week?

I have a new job: president of News Creator Corps. Goes like this.

Not a vacuous talking head, true. No one has any idea what she has planned. Just a general sense that it's such a startling move it would have to bring with it startling changes. What kind of changes? No one knows yet. I don't think ownership knows why they did it. They love Bari, thats enough. .
