Re: Channel 7 provides fake traffic detour to avoid WB M-59 accident

Side note; I despise the stupid roundabouts at Auburn and Dequindre. Useless pieces of shit. I agree. The other day I was on Tienken Road in Rochester and traveled through 3 stupid roundabouts between Dequindre and Rochester Road. Would you have rather caught 3 red lights? There are 2 roundabouts o...

I disagree. Failure to do proper due diligence is tantamount to dispensing fake news.

This was carelessness, not a simple mistake.

If the only error were the misspelling of Dobry, then I'd agree with you.
Opinions vary

Re: Channel 7 provides fake traffic detour to avoid WB M-59 accident

Although you are correct that the information given was inaccurate, your use of the word fake is also inaccurate.
A mistake isn’t fakery and fakery isn’t a mistake.
This is obviously a mistake.

I want you to respect me as a journalist, so check out my big a$$ in a thong on my Instagram.

Seriously what is it with these people?

Re: La’Nita Brooks Instagram

Where does it say that a respectful journalist can’t be photographed wearing a somewhat revealing (what she’s wearing is tame compared to what you see on most public beaches) swimsuit? It does not call her credibility or objectivity into question. It doesn’t have any bearing on her story telling abi...

It apparently wasn’t even successful in those terms since they cancelled the show. Add that to LIST of ways to get cancelled.
Or… they found an even cheaper option.

Re: Sinclair getting into show creation

Failure is dependent on what their goals were. They were attempting to fill time for less money than it would cost to buy a syndicated show. In that, they were successful! They don’t care about quality, because no one is watching anyway. All that matters is that it’s cheaper. No one was watching be...

Re: Sinclair getting into show creation

Advertisers won't pay for hash marks, so they dumped the List and paid a few sheckles for Extra and Mario Lopez. Exactly! Like I said, no one is watching anyway. So if no one is watching, and no advertisers are buying time, might as well put the cheapest product possible in these spots. If the math...

Re: Former WXYZ ND is at it again

Once, while leading up to our noon show at the Qube, there must have been some kind of medical emergency in the building because there was an ambulance parked on the street outside. The ambulance was in the background of our anchor shots. We got a call in the control room from the ND. She asked us i...

Re: Ginger Zee's closet

I think you’re off base with this one. GZ is already an established broadcast meteorologist and show host. She uses her social media to highlight those items, as well as other interests she has. Many of these interests extend beyond her closet and she actually does a good job of connecting those int...

Re: Channel 4 wins yet again

I agree that Luterman's coverage on Fox 2 was underwhelming. Their radar graphics seem to lack the bells and whistles of the other stations, too. They look dated. Ahmed on 50 (who should've been broadcasting on 62 as well) did a great job alerting viewers of a likely tornado formation near Brownsto...
