IS "NO NEWS- GOOD NEWS?"

      IS "NO NEWS-GOOD NEWS?"

       Since I began this blog some 13 years

ago it's been titled "No News Is.." which is

based an the old saying "No news is good

news." Ironically somebody designated

September 11th as "No News Is Good News

Day!" Amazing that the date now happens

to mark one of the biggest news stories ever

here in the United States. What would millions

of Americans have thought or done had there

not been the wall to wall news coverage that

followed the terrorist attacks on the United

States? There were other September 11ths

that also warranted news attention through

the years. Here's just a few examples.  September

11th 1609. Henry Hudson discovers the island

of Manhattan! September 11th, 1780. British

loyalists and Indians attack a contingent of

American militia near Little Nescopeck

Creek outside of what is now the city of

Hazleton. The resulting battle became known

as the Sugarloaf Massacre! September 11th,

1941. Construction works begins on a new

government building in Washington. D.C.

It is to be called the Pentagon! These

historical events deserve to be remembered,

No news really isn't good. It's ignorance!

When there black smoke pouring from a

building not far from your home you probably

want to know what happened. The news, papers.

radio, and tv, will likely be able to tell you!

Hope you're well and that all YOUR NEWS,

is good!
