Lebron James is the GOAT
Proof that Lebron James is the GOAT? Look no further than last night’s personal-postseason-best 51 points in 48 minutes.

Even Carlson’s Midnight reruns are getting better ratings than Cooper’s show. Cockburn writes: Donald Trump is certainly right about one thing: CNN is failing.
