The self-important braying? The hyper-bizarre music? The insane over-reactive coverage? The whacked-out posturing and inflections?
Seriously, I can't watch 5 minutes of it. It's way too weird.
I see you're in Washington also. What do you watch?? I find KING 5 not to be too bad (except for Ken Schram--and I simply mute the TV when his ugly puss shows up). I agree that the other local news channels in the Seattle-Tacoma market pretty much match your description (and I do NOT watch them).
Whatever their call letters--it's definitely the channel with Schram.
