Rate, I can't disagree with you there. That one is a failure for 4.
The 11pm was just as bad calling it a trail of destruction while 7 called it storm damage. Their constant hype train on everything is not a bright spot even if they are number one.

Are the Biden’s still begging from Burisma? They called him “MBNA Joe” back in the 90s for doing the bidding of the big credit card companies, all incorporated in Delaware. Oh yeah, IIRC Hunter Biden got an executive type job at MBNA right out of school and flubbed that one. President Obama famous ...

Re: Weather reporting

Another dud weather report from channel 2, 4 7 and 62 to make it sound like it’s the apocalypse. Just a regular normal storm that dumped rain and has left in 30 mins. There is damage in quite a few towns with Ferndale and Washington both shown on all of the stations with roofing town off buildings....

Re: Democrats take back control of the house

there should never be ties, either add a 111th member, or have the Lt. Governor break ties like they can in the state senate. Therein lies the issue with this legal gerrymandering law. It focuses more on being fair to the political parties at the expense of actually representing the citizens in the...

The comparison? The top people at NBC hired someone. The top people at NPR, according to Uri anyways, don't hire a specific group of people (allegedly, Republicans) Employees at NBC publicly criticized the top people at NBC for hiring a certain person. An employee at NPR publicly criticized the top...

Tracey replaced Al Pinter, or was there someone in between?

It'll always be Action News to me, no matter what they call it.
Here’s the guy between Pinter and Tracey.. this is dated 1996:
