Another junk newscast from a junk station. KABC has nothing to worry about.

Yet another Fox O&O bowing to the wishes of King Ailes. I see 0.5 demo rating in their future.

    “King” Ailes is actually their boss. Who do you think they should be bowing to instead of him?

    0.5… that’s WFLD’s ratings for their unwatchable newscasts. Thank God they’re not adding another hour here in Chicago.

And what the boss wants the boss gets. Even if its not not the viewers want. Adding to the news glut.

    the last serious tv newscast I saw was KNBC, about 1974, with the exception of some early CNN work (and breaking news.)
