Don’t believe it. It’s a misnomer. They really need to call themselves, Sports, Weather and Ads anytime. Well, truthfully, they do accidentally have 2 or 3 news stories each half hour. However, the bulk of the Memphis channel could be mostly equally divided between sports, weather and advertising. The thing is, much of the advertising is that they bring us the news, but they don’t. As I said, sports, weather and advertising.
I can only guess, but I’d say they really don’t want to bring us news. First, it has a tendency to make the dems look bad. It makes the Memphis government look bad. It makes the schools look bad. Truly, they make the city look bad. Second. they would have to pay someone to gather the news. Yeah. That’s right. They would have to go out and ask real questions of real people.
They have all sorts of remote broadcasting equipment. That’s right. Then they use it two or three times a day… sometimes. I’m not sure they like to do that. When they do, it does makes me wonder why. What would actually prompt them to go out and gather some news? Far easier, far less expensive to look at the weather instruments and record the weather.
Which brings me to the question, what takes so long to report the weather? When I was a kid, it took 2 or 3 minutes. Just what takes so long now. Well they have maps now. Maybe they should have 6 minutes.
Now, just why do the sports need 12 minutes and local news channel 3? Just what is so important about the sports that they can’t get the sports elsewhere. Just why is it so much more important than hard news?
Regardless, if there were penalties for truth in advertising, WREG TV would be guilty of disobedience. They advertise news anytime. It’s an outright lie. Hasn’t been news for decades. I don’t think it ever will be. It is intentional deceit.
Even as I write this, I am looking at a story about Mattel dolls. I guess they considered that important enough to squeeze it in. I’m not sure why it is so important to me. If I had a daughter, I’m not that sure it would be all that important to her. Most of the little girls would get their important info about dolls from commercials. I don’t know too many kids who would watch the news if you forced them.
It is no wonder there are people who are voting for Kamala for no other reasons than that she is black and she is a woman. Ask most who will vote for her to name one good thing she has ever done, and all you will hear is crickets.
