Obviously, the DemocRATs are shirking their responsibility to suppress real news and replace it with their standard issue bull ****.

If the dems were to win the election, the ministry of truth will need to look into “truth checking” local newscasts.

“Local news will help shape the votes of those who are on the fence or otherwise would have stayed home.”

No, local news will not shape the votes. Local news is presenting the facts and viewers can interpret it however they want. Local news is basically doing cable news’ jobs for them. Of all the cable news outlets, Fox probably comes closest to reporting news. However they also have opinion and commentary, but at least they admit it.

MSLSD and the Chicken Noodle Network say they are news, but it’s all opinion.

Local newscasts having devastating impact on Democrats.

Fortunately for Democrats about 25% of the people in the country are Evil and Stupid enough to vote for them.

Our local news bloviates on how we have to, just have to, get our jabs. They also like to link every bad weather event with Global Climate Change. They also give more positive coverage to leftist demonstrations than conservative ones, e.g. more pro- than anti-abortion.

However, this essayist is correct about the crime blotter stuff. They probably don't realize they are shooting themselves in the foot by starting every broadcast with BREAKING NEWS that usually involves criminal activity.

Journalism 101 -

-If it bleeds, it leads.

-One local death equals 100 in Europe or 1000 in Asia.

-Sex sells

“That’s because, unlike most of the national media, local news is still a trusted brand mostly free of bloviating opinions and bias.‘

Bull
Shit.

The leftist angle is represented in the reporting itself. What terms are used, what is a given or taken for granted. It’s all reported from the point of view of the leftist religious belief system. All local news is banned in my home for this reason.

Good point, but, questionable as Kate Brown is not running for governor in Oregon.

And how about the decades long pandering by the “local ‘news’” Feel good stories, victimizations, welfare pities, racial pities, and failures to call out ANY PC groups?

How has covering up and promoting left wing BS “hurting” Demonrats ?

Local “news” has been a joke for a long time, with it’s pretty /quota faces merely to read teleprompters and feign “journalism”

The Shill is lamenting the fact that local tv news reports crime authentically without covering for the Rats, and this is hurting their chances in the Mid-terms!

MWAH-HA-HA-HA!

Dere vill be no reportink on de local crime.

Democrats want no news because any news could create the realistic perception of how totally demonic they are.

The first five minutes of local news is like all of the commercials shown on TV; nothing but black people in front of the camera. Unless there is a major crime involving illegal aliens.

Out here in the Pugetopolis area the locals are just as bad as the networks, maybe worse because they are in the completely in the tank for the dims. One station, actually one of the oldest in the area, KING 5 NEWS is called WOKE 5 NEWS by the locals.

Because they ignore reporting on crime, drug vagrants, highest gas tax in America and did I mention crime, makes it obvious the stations are part of the problem. The Homeland Security Agents busted 3 illegals a week or so ago with 10 kilo’s, (22 pounds), of Fentanyl pills. One of the illegals had been deported a month earlier. No mention of this case other than in passing and one station ran a chyron mentioning the arrest. https://www.justice.gov/usao-wdwa/pr/three-arrested-connection-ten-kilos-fentanyl-pills-trafficked-whatcom-county

Even the local spinmeisters have a hard time with reporting the news because all of it is devastating to their one party government that many stories go unreported. Here’s one example of a devastating blow against the dimocRAT party yet not a single TV station aired the report. https://mynorthwest.com/3693065/dori-sheriff-group-crime-soft-candidates-claim-pro-police-chameleons/

Reason 1005 why I refuse to watch ANY broadcast news, Hell, in the past 15 years the only TV show I made time to watch was the Bosch series. They spun off Bosch, he got fired or quit the LA Police Department and is now a private dick. I haven’t watched it, the wife said it was good, many original cast members came along.

SOUNDS like Memphis, never leave home without your carry piece. Laws in business like doctors be damned, just not state or fed territory.

Kroger put in an UNARMED GUARD, TOTALLY USELESS.
