Michelle Post		 I like the formant. Also like that you can choose just USA news of the date. It actually functions and uses little MB.

Michelle Post		 It functions, but would prefer a different setup. Uses more MB than I prefer.

Rob Morganbesser		 The only thing keeping this from a higher rating is the lack of fact checking and bad grammar. Example of bad fact checking: Lee surrenders to Grant on November 9th! Dropped another Star people! Marshall Faulk went to San Diego State, not South Dakota State! Where do you get your misinformation?
