Several people in the channel’s fact-checking department, for example, were

So glad I canceled my subscription after Murdoch bought N.G.. BTW as a wee little
kid in Seattle a member of the Grosvenor family was in my nursery school class
and my parents met some of the Grosvenor and they were very nice people too.
