This was more self-aggrandizing informercial for the current WXYZ than it was an anniversary clip special.

Keener is 100% correct. When Channel 4 did theirs about a year ago, it was much more historical in nature. This one ended up being, look how awesome we are now.... we do this and this NOW.

Dissapointing

"This one ended up being, look how awesome we are now..."

I wouldn't use the word "awesome" to describe their ratings and talent, that's for damn sure.

I would expect nothing less from Channel 7. pushing their narrative.
