I'm willing to give it a shot and will watch if they live up to that promise.
Me, too. The guy in charge said, he hopes “News Nation” will be an even bigger deal to cable TV news viewers looking to turn down the heat on partisan politics."
Something like what they are proposing is desperately needed. It's not like they're going in blind. They've done a bunch of dry runs. Let's give them a chance before we jump all over them with a bunch of cynical schadenfreude.

Yeah, but will it be profitable?

I just set my DVR to record it, starts tomorrow at 8pm eastern. Gotta respect the idea, as it's what I've been wishing for, for a while.
Related, WGN America also produced the "Manhattan" TV series (2 seasons) about the building of the atomic bomb. Great show, I thought.

The thing is, you only really need about 25 minutes to read the news. What are they going to fill the rest of the day with?
I was only joking

You think the viewers you see are the only viewers there are?

Nope, but I'm channeling Aqua. Ever read what he has to say about this?

And that’s if you re-read it 4 more times.

I still doubt it highly, but it'd be great to be disproven.

Haven't tuned in yet.

The solution isn't more news only channels, it's getting rid of news-only channels.

I liked the link.
Reported accurately that our Gov. Brown came out with a statement that she requested police from the counties (Clackamas and Washington County) come help in downtown Portland.Both Sheriffs said no, that as long as the District Attorney of Portland has made it so almost anyone arrested is not charged and is immediately released, they would not allow their deputies into Portland. The mob attacked Mayor Ted Wheeler's condo building last night, tried to burn down one of the ground-floor businesses. Wheeler and Brown are running out Woke cards, I think most normal people find them to be an embarrassment. But, they have no opposition, so watch for them to be reelected.
I don't know what to say.
But I can quote Larry:
BWAHAHAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!! -
they are doing really well.
Phibes, WGN is not news only. Just this show. The rest of the time they have syndicated content.

PLEASE let it not be a fad.

Holy crap. That wasn’t bad. I want to watch for selection bias, though.

I noticed they had a story about some number of cops having been killed in the line of duty over the past months. It's an interesting case in point about how difficult it is to define what is and is not "news". I would claim that that's essentially an editorial rebuttal to the editorial news cycles around every incident of a cop killing a black person. Neither one is news in a rational society familiar with the statistical expectation of some small number of outlier events which don't speak to gross systematic issues. And in fact we have exactly such a society, right up until some issue is found to be politically useful in that it can be used to move the masses, at which time we abandon our common sense understanding that sometimes shit happens, and it doesn't necessarily mean there are systematic issues that require an entirely new political structure to address.
