Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 31 ratings
  • terrible!! used to be good.

    CBS or I Heart or something has ruined this.

    Conservative/rightwing take on World and Nat'l news.

    Very, very little local news reporting.

    The rest is all fluff! Weather reports, but then endless weather talk and sports just another meaningless distraction as distraction--devoid of any significance or meaning or accomplishment.

    Maybe just a bad day. Or everyone is on vacation or about to go on vacation.

    Are we stupid enough now!!?
