For the most part, I think our local stations do a decent job of being objective and not letting politics influence how they deliver the news.
Fox 2 shows a little in ‘Let it Rip,’ but even then, they let both sides give their opinion. This is a lot, coming from a Fox O&O, where the owner is ultra conservative.
This is why I’m glad 4 and 7 are not network owned and operated. In today’s political climate, I’m not sure either would be objective as ABC or NBC owned stations.
Acceptable registrations in the queue through May 12 at 7:00p ET have now been activated. Enjoy! -M.W.

Re: Politics on tv stations
I knew "O&O" would be in this post before clicking it.
I read the owner is not ultra conservative, but Fox News airs what it does because it makes money.
I also read local stations are not connected in any way to "Fox News."
Can't remember sources.

Objectivity is a myth. All humans have biases. ( Though the unthinking ones let them permeate every aspect of their being .) A journalist's job is to recognize his/her biases and remove them from their reporting as much as humanly possible .

Re: Politics on tv stations
You think that just because someone local owns the station that they are not a corporate run station?
You are very naive. I don't think you understand how media works.
There is NO news station that is not owned by one of the 6 owners of network television.

4 and 7 are not network owned and both deliver the news objectively. They aren’t MSNBC or FNC.stopnswop2 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2019 12:13 pmYou think that just because someone local owns the station that they are not a corporate run station?

This is local news, not national news.
