I can't exactly blame them when you have groups like Tegna, Nexstar, and Gray turning a blind eye to the shenanigans going on at their stations (the Boston Ice Cream channel, Tegna's habit of fronting newscasts with comedians, etc), Sinclair manipulating their local newscasts to fit their narrative, anchors and reporters acting stupid in TikTok videos.

When I watch videos of newscasts from back in the 70's, as boring and formal as it was, I often wish we'd go back to that. All News, No Fluff.

This reader asks, why bother watching CBS Evening News?

Email:
Why watch the CBS evening news with Norah O, when the same packages are aired during the local 6 pm news?

WHIO aired a report with Manuel Bojorquez about an increase of men getting a vasectomy after the roe v Wade reversal. Then, 30 minutes later, the same exact package aired on the national broadcast. Shouldn’t the network get to air a report first??
