Jimmy Barrett and Shara Fryer take you through the stories that matter on the morning of 01/17/2019, including: "Rumors of our demise have been greatly exaggerated." That’s the word from triple-amputee veteran Brian Kolfage who launched the now-viral “Build the Wall” GoFundMe page, which has raised over $20 million at present. Kolfage says there are misleading reports that the campaign has ended, and the money is being refunded to donors. More than 93-percent of donors have opted into a new plan to use the money (not yet disclosed). The platform will also continue to raise money toward its one-billion dollar goal; A new survey shows Americans spend nearly half their waking hours looking at screens. Researchers calculate the average adult logs 6 hours, 43 minutes of total screen time daily. And the problem is only getting worse. Of those surveyed, 79% said their screen time has increased over the past five years, with four in ten admitting it’s grown “a lot.”; An uncorrected reporting error republished by more than 1,000 media outlets worldwide negligently included a bogus pre-auction estimate of the 1943 Bronze Lincoln Cent auctioned Jan. 10, 2019 by Heritage Auctions. Media sources around the globe got it wrong. I got it wrong in this newsletter last week. Obviously, there's a huge difference between a $170 thousand penny and a $1.7 million coin. When news sources are so wildly wrong, it hurts the credibility of the entire industry.
