Opening up the Inbox and see how you guys are reacting to some of the stories seen here on FTVLive.

In regards to incoming CNN boss Chris Licht and him saying he is stepping away from Twitter:

I'm hoping the real signal that he's sending is that cnn day- to - day editorial will no longer be based on twitter trends and talking points like it was under Zucker. Any given hour of the day it legit is twitter tv where they would report basically on a trend (political) and just harp on it. People would even tweet just to get on tv....

"Should you follow his lead? "

SPOT ON. I rarely post on Twitter. If I do it's only about something funny or benign. I use Twitter as a way to get "tipped" to content that I wish to consume further on my own. Traffic on Twitter is GREAT. Very handy. But, I NEVER post my politics. I keep that to myself. I do think social media can bring people together, allow people to remain connected and it's a wonderful way to chronicle one's journey's through life. All the viciousness accomplishes nothing but waving the flames of "Ill will" and who needs that.

To me, it's just like an angry, out-of-control person someplace who wishes to protest "whatever" by throwing a rock. The rock flies with hate and venom and drops to the ground. The next day nothing changes. Oh and someone who could be doing something else has to come to clean up the rock. I correlate posting endless anger, arguing, and name-calling on social media to throwing a rock, and at the end of post...He or she has accomplished nothing, except someone with common sense blocks them.

Local stations are not interested in a dialogue on social media. There is no conversation. Station ND's and GM's think that social media can fan the flames of ratings gold. I don't think so. Never have. Can it support content at this point? Sure. Can it be a vehicle to get some information out there? Of Course. Is it the answer and solutions to all our journalistic prayers? Hardly.

I did what he said a long time ago.

Every day I do 'work' on the company Twitter. When I do a scroll to see what the average person in news tweets, I do not see much interaction. In fact, most likes, opinions, and comments I see usually come from other people in news. So we do news for other people in news... OK.

When we tweet, aren't we supposed to inform the public? We are doing work for another company that really has nothing to do with us. We fell for it.

Maybe it is just not for me. This job to me should be about telling people what they need to know in an unbiased, factual way. Social media is not built for that. It is more about serving yourself. Getting addicted and never leaving. Losing your privacy. So I avoid it.

Just wanted to tell you I really agreed with you regarding you, of trump and biden. Yes, both made some good decisions and both failed in some ways too. That's just the way it is. I'm an independent and try to see both sides. I couldn't stand a lot of things Trump did; he was just uncouth in my opinion but I also know his biography and that he was trained to never back down. He was also greatly influenced in positivity by Norman Vincent Peale.

Anyway thank you for being, as always, fair and accurate. Even if you and I disagree, I know that your opinion comes from a good place and I respect it. Have a great night sir

One person has what they think is a solution for the TV news industry:

Big fan of the site and write emails to you often. We've got a big problem with people leaving the industry in droves as you report on daily. I think these massive corporations we all work for should evaluate the work week strategy and act accordingly.

I see where California is exploring a four-day work week. Why can't we do that in the news industry, too? A three day weekend certainly can help overcome low pay. Have the weekend crews anchor and report one more day a week and run the weekday crews on a four-day, 10-hour schedule. Most of us are already working 10 hours per day anyway.

This would boost morale and encourage more people to join the industry. In turn, the suits can keep salaries low and profits high. I see no reason why this can't succeed.
