We got this email from a TV news viewer in Iowa and he included some screenshots as examples.

You must wonder, how many other viewers feel the same way?

Here’s the email:

“Can I depend on local news?? I have a sense the local reporters and news anchors where I live here in Iowa keep getting worse. I follow them for news but instead I get this junk on my feeds. This is not why I follow local news people. This news anchor I had to unfollow because of these kinds of posts. Videos of her doing makeup (I DONT CARE), pictures showing off outfits, videos of behind the scenes anchoring the news (I didn’t know news anchors didn’t pay attention between stories), LEGS????, and then a misleading engagement post only to make fun of people who congratulated her???? Is that not what fake news is?? 

There are still some quality journalists my wife and I like though and since discovering your website I’ve learned more about the ins and outs of tv journalism.”
