  1. I have enjoyed Leland’s unbiased reporting on News Nation. However, I would really like someone to convince him to pronounce versus correctly. Every time he says “verse” instead of “ver-sus” it makes my skin crawl! He said it twice this week including this evening (1-26) during his discussion about “religious NONES”.
