• Suddenly, it is not such a bad deal --- “We need more competition against THE ENEMY, the Fake News National TV Networks,” Trump wrote on social media. “Letting Good Deals get done like Nexstar — Tegna will help knock out the Fake News because there will be more competition. ... GET THAT DEAL DONE.”

• I have been listening to AC “92.9 The Wave” WTWV-FM Suffolk/Norfolk VA this morning. Yacht Rock. The commercial breaks kill the vibe. Loud, crashing, upsetting, hard-sell.

  • Not so sure the music selection fits. Some of it is "NOISE" meant for a harder format.

    • Overall, it works. The commercial interruptions can't be avoided and fans of the format will keep the station on for hours at a time. I give WTWV FM a thumbs up!

• Tony Dokoupil will never be another Cronkite, not even a Rather.

  
  

  • Interestingly, buyouts are being offered inside the news division — specifically the “CBS Evening News.” The buyouts are reportedly a “bid to cull some jobs that are not tied to the union agreement that governs the majority of the staff.”

    Notice the part about the jobs “not tied to the union agreement.”

    The timing is sorta curious, considering the “CBS Evening News” is undergoing a major reboot with Dokoupil taking over as anchor just a little more than three weeks ago.

    • Easier to control a smaller crew, maybe. Plus, she will be bringing in players from her team.

• Pretti was Italian. But by appearance, maybe someone at the network thought the facial characteristics pointed to another ethnicity. Why would alterations to his picture be necessary? Very shady shenanigans going on with mainstream media.

• Reports show CBS Evening News is on track for its lowest January ratings since at least 2000, while Stephen Colbert is seeing his worst January ever among adults 25–54—the key demographic for advertisers.
  Lessons:
  • Preaching instead of reporting doesn’t work
  • Lecturing instead of entertaining doesn’t sell
  • Talking at Americans instead of listening drives viewers away

• Sports coverage (Seahawks) and news, local, FOX Local, and Matthew Smith on the Live Desk--FOX 13 KCPQ is the place to turn for the most current and comprehensive news. Very impressive.
  The only downside--Studio 13. At the tail end of the Monday segment, the guest from a local health spa, had lost her voice screaming during yesterday's Seahawks game. The interview was done in a hoarse whisper. Just stupid. To be expected, this program is nonsense and a waste of air time.

• Turns out the couple, (husband and wife) were attempting to run over the agents with their vehicle. Bang!! They are dead. Eventually, idiots will begin to get the message.

  • BREAKING: Portland Police @ChiefBobDay just confirmed @DHSgov was right: the suspects are connected to Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua and are implicated in a July 2025 shooting in Portland.

• The former brother-in-law of Renee Nicole Good, who was shot in Minneapolis, says she should have "minded her own business."

  Former brother-in-law Joseph Macklin told The Daily Mail that Good had 3 children.

  "She had no reason to be there, in my opinion," he said.

  "It had nothing to do with her. She shouldn't have been in the way. She had nothing to do with the ICE agents or immigration, so she shouldn't have been there."

  "She should have minded her own business."

  Joseph Macklin is the brother of Tim Macklin Jr., who passed away in 2023. Tim Macklin Jr. shared a now six-year-old son with Good.

  Good has two other children from a previous relationship who are in the custody of their father, according to Joseph.

  The Macklin father has also spoken out.

  "She was a good, outgoing person. I didn't agree with a lot of her ways, but it's really sad to see these things happen," Timmy Ray Macklin Sr. said.

  "There's nobody else in his life. I'll drive. I'll fly. To come and get my grandchild."
