What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHank Ledger. I didn't do any of this.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorInflation rose from three point four percent in August to three point seven in September, and the AP says Republicans may pay for it in the midterms.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAirline fares are up twenty-two point four percent over the year, so even escaping the news costs more.

  4. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIn Venezuela, thousands lined the streets of Caracas yesterday to welcome opposition leader Maria Corina Machado home after ten months abroad.

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorShe leaned out of her car's sunroof to shake hands and hug supporters as the convoy rolled in.

  7. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThirteen hundred words, and it began with complete and total loser. That is a lot of runway.

  10. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAt a Michigan rally, Trump told Nicki Minaj, who flew in on Air Force One, to stand up, then added, I hope Nicki wasn't insulted, but we love Nicki.
