BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (WCCO) — This year, safety is of the essence when you’re driving around town, and in and out of the car while running errands. Carjackings are up nationwide. The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) says beginning in June 2020, the United States experienced a 13% increase in auto thefts. And in Minneapolis, there have been 540 this year — five times the amount in 2019. The busiest shopping season is underway, and at Mall of America, shoppers are heading into the season with joy, but also with caution. Maria Dockendorf and Tessia Gebherd have been friends since they...

The Star Tribune is nevertheless tired of being played for a chump. Coolican notes: “This again raised questions about her marriage to Elmi and whether it was sincere or some effort to help Elmi’s immigration status, or even whether Elmi is her brother. She has denied Elmi is her brother but declined to answer any questions about the circumstances of her marriage to him.” • Her 2016 statement to the contrary notwithstanding, the evidence strongly suggests that Omar never split from Hirsi before her election to Congress last year. Their alleged 2011 divorce “in their faith tradition” appears to be...

Tuesday was a sad day for many fans of WCCO radio. One of the legendary broadcasters of our time has passed away. For 26 years, Steve Cannon was the afternoon drive host on WCCO-AM. He passed away Monday night at his home in Minneapolis at the age of 81 after a brief battle with cancer.

A photo of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama and his Code Pink bundler, terrorist supporter Jodie Evans, has finally surfaced.

Murphy describes the photo as a Code Pink member "interrupting Obama", yet...

Longtime WCCO-TV meteorologist Mike Fairbourne says that the environmental movement is practicing "squishy science" when it ties human activity to global warming. Fairbourne's assessment Monday came on the same day that the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine appeared before the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., and announced that it has the signatures of more than 31,000 scientists -- including Fairbourne's -- who agree that the human impact on global warming is overblown. Fairbourne, who jointed WCCO in 1977 and has been a meteorologist for 40 years, said that while there is no doubt that "there has been some...

Gov. Tim Pawlenty's radio show should be considered an in-kind campaign contribution from WCCO-AM, worth as much as $600,000 a year, according to a complaint issued by the DFL Party Friday. The charge filed with the Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board alleges that Pawlenty failed to report the show on his 2005 campaign finance report.

Pretty much a cut & paste response, but figured I'd throw it out there anyway. My email: I have removed WCCO from my TV channel listing until your support of CBS & CBS News programming is pulled. CBS has proven time and again they have no journalistic integrity, and further now have perpetrated criminal deception on its viewers by trying to influence a presidential election with forged documents IN COLLUSION with the Democratic Party. They have stonewalled repeatedly in the face of clear fact with the hope that this issue will be forgotten; I assure you it will not. CBS...
