Re: Channel 7 (WXYZ) rebranding next Monday?

They are indeed rebranding to 7 News Detroit. They have a promo for a story Brad Galli is doing interviewing MSU Football Coach Johnathan Smith. The end of it has the new logo which actually looks pretty decent if you were going to try to be hard news focused. The current VO guy is still at it sadly...

Re: Saying "Illegal Alien" in the classroom may get you suspended

THE LEFT is trying to change the definition of a LOT of words and phrases. "Illegal" and "alien" are just two, but "woman" is another one. "it was a racist term in 2024" only applies to THE LEFT. Society has not made that change yet, and may never. THE LEFT (tm) isn’t a thing… whatever you mean to ...

Re: Saying "Illegal Alien" in the classroom may get you suspended

What we are saying is that...it has been weaponized and turned into a slur by Republicans and used to scare the living daylights out of their supporters... Do you have any evidence to support this assertion? See the use of criminal illegal aliens all over right wing media. They aren’t being matter ...

Re: Saying "Illegal Alien" in the classroom may get you suspended

All undocumented people ARE illegal aliens, by definition. If you don't like the language, take that up with the federal government, not me. As an aside, the list of people you call names from cunts to pieces of garbage to pieces of shit is much, much longer than 1 person. What we are saying is tha...

Re: Saying "Illegal Alien" in the classroom may get you suspended

The federal system considered people 3/5ths of a person too. And by your standard since it isn’t in the code anymore that means it’s NOT OK. Actually, I was wrong. It is only the Library of Congress that has stopped using the term. Interesting nobody corrected me on that point. You, instead, ran wi...

Does anyone think it's ok to call a human being an illegal alien?
Yes. It was the language used in the federal code until quite recently.

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.

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.
