During these strange times, many of us have looked at the sky and wondered, “What timeline did we stumble into?!” These feelings are only compounded by pundits and anchors inserting their opinions into the news as we know it. Here at YNT, we hope to tell simply the facts (as objectively as the news will allow) in the voice and perspective of a bygone era.

RETRACTION I had a feeling one day, in the search of truly honest news, we would have a flub up. Unfortunately, it was in our second episode. In the segment talking about the USPS, it was stated by me that the overall coronavirus bill was a $3 Billion dollar proposal, when it actuality, it was a $3 TRILLION dollar proposal. Our sincerest apologies to any persons out there who were misled or ill-informed due to our initial report.
