DirtyHarry 727 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 7 hours ago, WWUpdate said: Sometimes it's best to treat those sites as a running joke. The moment the media outlets start shaping their coverage to get the approval of conservative sites (or any political sites, for that matter) is the moment they lose all credibility. Like I said, the media not mentioning party affiliation if a Democrat is involved is a running joke on conservative sites. Here's a sample from Instapundit: (Glenn Reynolds links stories like these frequently, but the search terms I used only picked up a sample.) 1. Not once in a ten-paragraph report did the AP find the space to mention Dukes’ party affiliation — D-Austin. 2. There was no mention of party affiliation in any of the first 9 news articles.” 3. CBS Doesn’t Mention Jesse Jackson Jr. is a Democrat in Story About His Sentencing. It’s in the Style Guide: Party affiliation of disgraced pols is only relevant if they’re Republican. 4. OCCUPY CLEVELAND PARTICIPANT PLEADS GUILTY TO BOMBING PLOT. AP leaves mention of his affiliation to the last paragraph of the story. I’m sure they’d do the same if the Tea Party were involved. . . . 5. IT’S TIME TO PLAY NAME THAT PARTY! This story in the New York Times about the sentencing of New York State Senator Carl Kruger for corruption omits any mention of his party affiliation. And, sure enough, it turns out he’s a Democrat. Thanks to reader Thaddeus Perry for pointing this out. 6. UPDATE: About a gazillion readers wonder why Rep. Ackerman’s party affiliation isn’t mentioned. Yeah, go figure. 7. They don’t mention his party affiliation anywhere, but it turns out he’s a Democrat. A.P. should try using Google next time . . . . 8. But that’s not all. Read the whole thing. And try to guess her (unmentioned) political affiliation . . . . 9. It mentions that Young is, indeed, a GOP lawmaker. 10.“The LA Times never mentions Mr. Shelley’s party affiliation. Is it safe to assume he is a Democrat?” Yes, it is. https://pjmedia.com/instapundit/?s=mention+affiliation Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/389/#findComment-236406 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Democrats get more sex scandals and other out of office criminal stuff... party affiliation doesn’t amount to a hill of beans regarding who’s wife you are boning. It does matter if you gave sweetheart deals to 5 of your best buddies in exchange for campaign contributions. This bias against conservatives canard is all in your head. Katie Hill just resigned for a sex scandal and her Democratic affiliation was the first thing or nearly the first thing mentioned. Next thing will be that they only mentioned her party to save face for not mentioning it all those other times. If Conservatives feel like making things work better then they can come to the table and have a voice. Constantly whining and playing the victim and wanting nothing to happen and reading the same junk over and over about how bad they have it is really getting old. Being dragged into oblivion because 40% of the country is a supposedly persecuted conservative isn’t very much fun and as their lives continue to deteriorate for lack of investment or progress I hope they’ll use their last pennies on a mirror when they ask why it’s this way.

He's left and come back before. Probably a work/life balance thing given his off camera role as Mr. Kumi Tucker and that the two had to be scheduled around each other. If she left I might sound the alarm though. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/389/#findComment-236418 Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Block 1566 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 KRON switched to a primetime 8-11pm block as well a little more than a year ago, and it appears to be doing well. They're still far behind KTVU at 10pm, but some people are watching.

Now the show as scaled backed and diegrssed it's just a straight forward news cast now.

What I'm saying is that the 10:00 p.m. timeslot is not one of Estrella TV's local news windows. I believe its 11:00 p.m. meaning that WKCF/Estrella TV Orlando will interrupt the final hour of national primetime programming from Estrella TV to carry the local newscast. Currently at that hour, its Alarma TV (Alarm TV) at 10:00 followed by Noticiero Estrella TV - Cierre de edicion (Estrella TV News - Closing Edition) at 10:30 p.m. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/389/#findComment-236530 Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Spanish-dominant markets such as LA, Miami and Houston quite a few English-language stations caption in Spanish via CC3 (and in the past carried translated audio over AM/FM). It's at least something, and any little ratings help doesn't hurt in any way. Also...despite all the cash grabs the TV industry and station groups have these days, there's still room for public services like this. Either way, whatever Estrella's 'official local news window' is, both the 10 and 11pm slots carry reality drivel Estrella allows easy pre-emption for local programming ("Lol : - )", yes, that's its title, is just one of those languageless clip shows like "Just for Laughs Gags" taped in Quebec to grab gobs of CanCon and worldwide syndication cash).
