WDIV has the best product in the market, for sure. WJBK feels like clickbait on TV and WXYZ has never found footing after the final retirements of their greats (Diana Lewis, Robbie Timmons, Jerry Hodak, and their old school reporters).

Toning down the divisiveness just on this board alone is a tall order! However, I'm not yet deterred still and hold out hope that we can carry out higher quality political conversations, as (at least sometimes) used to be the case here years ago.

If you're looking for no frills news on television, PBS NewsHour is your best bet. The BBC is a close second. I find that the CBC does a better job covering American politics better than most US outlets. Otherwise, you're pretty much limited to 24/7 infotainment. The quality of newspapers is murkier...

The lack of transparency regarding the changes at the MDHHS is quite frustrating. As others have mentioned, I hope for stronger media pressure on both the Governor and MDHHS to explain what happened, and push to be more transparent towards their COVID-19 policies now that we're approaching 1 year in...

And "climate science" has emerging evidence all the time. Much of it is unreliable at best. Emerging evidence, by definition, modifies our understanding of any given system; whether that lends more credibility towards prevailing narratives, or pushes our studies in a different direction. That's how...

What’s the current death total under the Biden regime? When will it be his responsibility? It became his responsibility at 12:00 pm yesterday, but the best measure of his response will be how the trajectory of infection and death rates evolve through his mandates and legislative efforts. He's set c...

With any luck, we will get some good pictures of her having a good time at the inaugural festivities today. Those photos will make good content for campaign ads against her. https://www.woodtv.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/51/2021/01/gov-gretchen-whitmer-012021.jpg If I'm not mistaken, those are her...

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/biden-not-wearing-mask-federal-mask-mandate It’s possible he just forgot the order he just signed. Dementia will do that. I've got nothing here. Even though the likelihood of COVID being spread was small (physical distancing, except among those who share a ho...

This is such a strange wedge issue. The overwhelming majority of the jobs lost are temporary, related to the construction of the pipeline. Politifact cites the State Department's projection of only 50 of these jobs being permanent. The bulk of the wealth is generated from the refining and distributi...

It's only day one, and Biden has already issue an executive order prohibiting discrimination against LGBT people in the workplace. Off to a roaring start. https://www.metroweekly.com/2021/01/president-biden-issues-executive-order-protecting-lgbtq-people-from-discrimination/ This is a good victory f...

https://youtu.be/LELW5JYOp-M About the last stand for AOR on WLLZ. Wheels top 1000 from 1994 with Sheri Donovan. Thanks for sharing. I'm just young enough to not have appreciated WLLZ in its heyday (they signed off when I was 7). I've always heard great things about the original Wheels, so I'm glad...

Here's a link to a local news site that carried the story. https://www.westernmassnews.com/news/video-springfield-officer-facing-assault-and-battery-charges/article_8a115c32-55e8-11eb-9385-6b63d3fdb24d.html This is exactly what this is, a local story. A bod cop did a very bad thing, it was reported...

98.7 should model itself after Lithium. Mostly 90s, throw in some 00s stuff...know how I know it's time to change the station? When I hear "Radio dot com, music discovery". I'm usually back at Riff before she says 'discovery' This. 100% agree! Shit, I might like this idea more! Also Mega — 107one p...

How many of those 400,000 actually died from COVID, instead of it just being found in the system? There is a difference. If you die in a car crash and had it, does that count? If someone had COVID, yet died in a car crash, the cause of death would be the physical trauma resulting from the death. Th...

The flu kills too, so does even the common cold. Should we ban people from leaving their house if they have those illnesses? Again, if you are afraid, stay home. Let the rest of us live and make a living. Why should the feds bail out incompetent states? Whitmer is a hypocrite here, plain and simple...
