But she’s a registered independent - how can she possibly be biased?

WWJ is a quality organization. While they are a CBS affiliate, they provide most of their content themselves, instead of relying on the network commentary from the Josef Stalin Building in New York.

Extraordinary. Good for them.

Is Karen Dinkins any relation to David Dinkins?

Apparently it’s fine that a TV journalist can plug her own book about OBAMA and head into the interview (the debate) tomorrow.

Frankly, Glen Ifle is no different than the other 95% of the press who are voting for Obummer.

Good thing she decided to go into radio rather than television.
