It's all about getting the "story" out first (no vetting) and catering to a partisan audience that only wants to hear whatever supports their preconceived notions (both camps). The dumbing down of America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's for sure - we live in an age where a 'news' organization shelves a pedophile story because, if aired, it may hamper their chance to interview a celebrity? Are you kidding me? John Solak is the closest we get to journalism around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack McGurn Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 M_Sable has said it perfectly. Today's so called "journalists" have degenerated into advocates of their personal beliefs. Salespeople. Most Main Stream media investigative reporting now exists only as a means to reach a desired predetermined end. Vetting and fact finding have been rendered to option status and many times the facts present an impediment that is either ignored or distorted to reach the desired outcome. Tragically, in most cases the reporter's personal philosophical/ political position is precisely why he or she has been hired in the first place for that particular media outlet. And, this overall lack of pure journalistic savvy has infected every level. It truly is as Sable writes, a glaring symptom of the "dumbing down of America". The failure and indictment of the American education system. Small case in point: A recent Press & local media story covered the construction of a brand new stand alone classroom built I believe on the Chenango Valley High school campus overlooking a beautiful scene of nature. I presume that in an attempt to disarm any critics who might or could perceive it as frivolous spending in this already taxed to death Valley, the principal or District spokesperson tells the reporter that it's construction cost the taxpayers nothing as it would come out of the Capital Fund? Obvious follow up questions: What is the source of the Capital Fund? Costs to maintain? Could it actually pose a distraction to attentive learning? Necessary? Not.

Ted Williams Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 WBNG is much worse than it was 10, 15 or 20 years ago. But it's still the best local news. Fox 40 is filled with errors. Channel 34 is better reporting, but not as much news as the other stations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaldEagle Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 I completely disagree. Mueller is a seasoned pro’s pro who I am shocked came here. Add him to the dark haired cuties, the local, genuine weather guy, and you have the strongest team we’ve had here in years. I’m not kidding, I think you guys are way, way off on this one.

27 Time World Champions Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 There was another thread a few months ago on the new guy. He’s doing his job well and people are talking about him. Howard is a genuinely good guy and has calmed down since his epic, “Everybody go to your basements! We’re all going to die!” rant a few years ago. This was the Dream Team though. Never got better than this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 The guy is just too creepy. It seems like he is always trying to touch the girls. He is way to dramatic when reading the news, just read it and move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I heard him talk, I ran back from the kitchen to see who was talking so professionally! And, I've always liked Howard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThelmaHarper Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 Paul is great when he sticks to reading from the teleprompter. When he tries to be folksy and friendly it comes across as insincere and forced. Maybe a little goofy. But he has a great voice and professional delivery and I wish him the best. Chloe is very talented and could be a model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19April1775 Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 The local news takes orders from on high if they get too far out of line. No doubt about that. There have been Congressional hearings proving it. Most of us here have been lied to since we were a child. Never forget that whenever you watch or read corporate media. Warnings came a long time ago. Hard pill to swallow? Suck it up. Be an individual for once. Why do you think they are freaking out about Trump? Do you think he calls them the enemy of the people for no reason? This is why he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarcasm is the spice of life but for once I actually believe this to be true Gordon. I've never seen such ineptitude.I understand Binghamton is a market where people start out but its flat out embarrassing how bad they are at their jobs. Also, how does someone like Kathy White have a job? Has she ever successfully read the news properly without stuttering or stammering?

She truly makes the news updates unlistenable. Even the newsreaders in podunk towns can actually READ the news both fluidly and fluently. Occasional goofs I get but this sounds like a middle school production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
