      The sad thing is that our 'local news media' stations are owned by large corporate conglomerates that tell all of them to do the same story, same pitch, same delivery. It's really sad. Luckily here we have some awesome news media teams that do the best they can, despite being owned by large corporations. Heck, my hometown's newspaper in Michigan is owned by some company in KENTUCKY?!?!?! WTH!!!! That is just not right man!

      @@Juleesuz Actually most stations are owned by large corporate companies… there’s some that are locally owned, I know one station that’s locally owned and is currently waiting for the FCC to get permission to buy two FOX affiliates by a regional company (one of the FOX affiliates is in Fargo which is in the same market as WDAY, the other one is in Duluth, MN)… probably best anyway since the only large corporate company that owns two of the four stations (KVLY/KX4) had a merger back in 2006 and is currently owned by Gray TV, which I’ll say Gray TV isn’t bad either… they’re adding two local shows that used to be on WDAY, and one of the shows are going to be shown on a lot of Gray TV Markets! The only one that’s currently local is Forum Communications, they own WDAY along with a lot of Newspaper companies

      @@JonasTisell Yes this is correct. I used to work on the web desk for a large newspaper that I'm sure you all would know. It's not that anyone's intentionally trying to scare people, it's just that leading with dramatic language is a lot more fun and likely to entice clicks. I'm sorry, but it's a business. Journalists and producers are generally well-intentioned, but you can't blame them for wanting to increase viewership/readership. The news would be a lot healthier if it didn't have to make money.... Not sure how to do that though unless it's publicly funded which has its own major problems.

      This is exactly why I left school for graphic design and went fully independent. They try to squeeze everyone into the same method, and don't account for any of our strengths or weaknesses to truly get the best out of the students. It's just "learn this, memorize this, and write it in your exams the way we taught you" rather than teaching the fundamentals and then allowing you to explore your creativity and allow it to flourish. The modern college system (and education in general) has become less about intelligence and challenging your intellect, and more about being able to memorize and repeat the concepts taught to you and turning in assignments in a timely manner. Basically how well can you conform to our idea of whatever it is you're being taught. It's sad really

    Nailed It! Another one of my favorite reports is how they report on a ten cent increase as as gas prices are slowly on the rise. Yet they exclaim prices are plummeting when they drop three cents!

    To be honest
    The current prices are completely unacceptable.

      I've never understood oil prices. I mean the price of barrels drop but gas prices rise? Then 4 years ago, give or take, when the oil barrels were rising in price, gas didn't increase much? It's weird.
      But this is just proof we need alternative fuel sources and not be slaves to oil.

      @@nude_cat_ellie7417 Tell me about it! I've got some senior horses that wouldn't be fit for a round trip to town, but when I think about adding yet another couple... Yikes! We've got the hay, but the Ivermectin quadrupled in price, etc., etc., etc. I suppose I can dig out my old nippers and rasp to do trims if the farrier needs a whole lot more and he probably will. I'm pretty sure fuel was already a big part of his overhead. I just want to know who these people are that are dropping 12-20K+ for a finished grade draft cross! They're nobody I know! 😄
