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.

[Mik]

@Catseye3 Absolutely.

@Catseye3

Yes, I agree. Even the cynical side of me hopes they can really do this and maintain the neutral position.

[Mik]

It could be revolutionary.

[Jolly]

Yeah, but will it be profitable?

[Mik]

we shall see.

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.

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

[Doctor Phibes]

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?

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.

They’ll need what amounts to a constitution that they and their future generations are somehow bound to follow. And the constitution needs to be well written.

Haven't tuned in yet.

[Doctor Phibes]

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

[Mik]

they are doing really well.

Phibes, WGN is not news only. Just this show. The rest of the time they have syndicated content.

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!!

[Jolly]

I read the hurricane news.

Not bad.

PLEASE let it not be a fad.

[LuFins Dad]

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