What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFinally, some good news, and I promise I'm fine: a Columbus Day column argues that trade boomed after the voyage, and critics of current tariffs should feel humbled.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThat's the good news? It's an opinion piece from Breitbart, and our own editors say it has almost no news value today.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBut think about it. Cinnamon crossed an entire ocean so it could end up in my oatmeal. I need a moment.
