Here are some comments from some of you about stories you saw on FTVLive.

It should go without saying (and most often does) that these are the opinions of the FTVLive readers and are not the opinion of me.

Hey Scott...

So I read over the last few days about the FOX 5 weather Matthew Cappucci looking like a complete tool doing a flash flood warning at 2:30 In the morning wearing pajamas in a barely lit room, which he then followed up with a Tweet in which he said there was "nothing cooler" than reporting TORNADO WARNINGS with his fellow meteorologists. Follow that up with his colleague Miss Matter deciding to espouse advice to President Biden on how he should do his job. This just adds to the recent incidents with former FOX 26 reporter Ivory Hecker trying to throw her bosses directly under the bus during a live shot and of course former FOX 6 anchor Kari Lake continuing to show that her absolute Trumpette standing hasn't wavered one bit after she was canned for basically being herself (ie an absolute insensitive human being).

All of which begs the question "Does FOX seem to have a case of 'dumbass' in their collective water?"

Matt Cappucci could have the single worst case of HURE (Head Up Rear End) syndrome I have ever seen because this clueless idiot decides to fail to read the room not once but TWICE in a WEEK by posting that he seemingly can't be taken seriously as a weather guy when he makes it "All About Me" and shows a ton of insensitivity towards the situations he has to report on. Be a freaking professional, dude! I wouldn't look like I just got out of bed at 2:30 am if my boss had said I had to alert viewers to a flash flood threat. On top of that if he had reworded his Tweet to say that there was nothing cooler than doing what he loved AND LEFT IT AT THAT then he wouldn't be looking like an insensitive jackass.

As for Miss Matter, does the phrase "stay in your lane" ring a bell? You were specifically hired by FOX5 to read the news, not opine how YOU would handle a situation if you were the Commander in Chief. You look like a complete waste of talent for offering your opinion to the President when you were never asked to do so.

And as for the fact that you both got butthurt that Scott called you out well, you both DESERVED IT. Scott may bash people in the industry but he does so only because there are the entitled ones like you two who have your heads so far up your rectums you can smell your farts before everyone else in the room does. Both of you need to read the room before you say or do something even stupider than these three gigantic blunders you've committed.

Emmys

You are so right! Nothing but dust collectors whose value is diminished to near ZERO because there so many of them handed out.

As for judging - I did it for years. Had producers stick around after the early news. Brought in pizza. The “judging” was based on “Gong Show Rules.” Any ‘judge’ could stop the tape by yelling, ‘Gong!’

Many of the entries were really lame.

GRAY TELLS STAFF TO GET THE JAB

I am so glad that I am out of this cesspool for "news"

How you can possibly celebrate the mandatory edict to take the experimental vaccine is beyond me. This isn't American. I am sure that you would be right at home with 1940's Nazi Germany. Welcome, mine Herr.

You can imagine how that went over in Nexstar local newsrooms…$130 mil to buy this website but we get laughed out of the room asking for raises? Working 50 hour weeks on a regular basis and can’t take vacation for the first six months we work there, can’t take vacation during sweeps months that don’t even matter anymore? Our patience is wearing thin, this company’s gonna lose a lot of good people real quick so we can work literally anywhere else in or out of news, and have a decent work-life balance that actually pays enough to put food on the table…all while our mega-rich “leader” keeps flushing hundreds of millions of dollars down the toilet. Nexstar’s worse now than Sinclair ever was.

Scott,

With the low viewership numbers for Nexstar's News Nation on cable, it surprises me that Nexstar doesn't utilize one of its TV subchannels with airing an hour or two of its News Nation telecasts, as there is an untapped market of over-the-air (OTA) TV viewers, such as myself, that can't watch that cable/satellite newscast.

With Nexstar owning near 200 stations, with each property having at least one subchannel to its primary channel in each market, that's nearly 200 TV markets of OTA viewers News Nation could reach out to.

Granted, there are probably legalities involved for News Nation to expand to OTA; but with such a wide-spread US market coverage of Nexstar stations; with the DTV subchannels each station possesses; one would think that an experiment of airing an hour or two of News Nation on OTA subchannels would be a viable means to expand its awareness to OTA viewers; with the potential to develop a following for News Nation.
