  • I hope it gets better

    Three years of PK inserting herself and her opinions into the stories has been very tedious. For example She has been hysterical about cuts to over-servicing psychology sessions, wasted airtime with her unbridled adulation of Taylor Swift and failed to acknowledge the obvious that trump was going to win the election. Fran Kelly was very fair. I hope the Sally Sara chapter brings better balance to RN Breakfast .
