100. Fractious


From, Piers Morgan Tonight on CNN, 12/14/11:

Morgan asked Brokaw if he thought this was an incredible year for news.
BROKAW: Well, it's been a chaotic year… [constant flow of news on cable, broadcast tv, internet, social media, people talking about it, etc]. So there is really no escaping it…. Having said all that, however, this is one of the most fractious political years that I can remember.

How would you describe the news you’ve been experiencing this year?

Fractious: bad tempered; cantankerous
