  • Could do much better

    First thing, it’s full of ads. Come on.

    Second, rather than fake “Breaking News as we come on air,”

    Do real journalism. Cover tough topics, be fair and impartial.

    I’m going back to NPR.

  • Too many ads

    Two issues… The first is the incessant interruptions from ads landing in the middle of sentences, the frequency of ads is too disruptive. The second is more a cultural thing, the way ABC News reports on stories and the feeling of insincerity in the reporting with fake concern. I especially find the ‘Made in America’ section cringeworthy with its insincerity and sickening attempt of feel good content and tone reporting.
