I'm not interested in who owned UP before its most recent ones. A question for everyone, particularly CB who seems to know the details: On the recent UP ownership issue, while I don't recall much about it and could not, if pressed to the wall, differentiate between AP, UP, and Reuters, nonetheless I recalled, after typing a note to CB last night, that one of the White House correspondents, Helen ???, always sits on the front row and has been there forever, resigned from her network affiliation because of a sale. Was it the sale of UP to the moonies? Or something else? I'm devoting half a dying brain cell to this issue so who knows what happened.
