Broadcast can be confusing, not on how the news is reported, but what is reported in the news. Numerous times we look to the news for the correct information just to find out later on that only some of the information was true.

last 100 years will still be floating around! It is stupid to think once a new bill is printed the others will just disappear. Trump said replacing Jackson with Tubman is "pure political correctness." He and former Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson suggested putting Tubman on the $2 bill instead.

Among the questions were one that asked who would be the best republican to run against Hillary Clinton. Throughout
