  • Good Delivery but Incomplete Stories

They have simply ended without any resolution or wrap up even when the story is historical.

  • A little shallow

    They have a tendency to leave out the criticism of the subject. I dont notice if Im not familiar with the subject but its very apparent when I am. It really shows the bias of the reporting. More hype than honest fact telling
