Kinda thought this was very interesting........our local ABC, and NBC channels carried President Biden's

[a kennedy]

speech live……our local CBS station didn’t. Wrote to them asking why didn’t they carry POTUS’s speech, insuating they didn’t like him. Got an immediate response back, “it isn’t that we don’t like him, it’s just we only carry local topics”, and you can write to the editor that decided not to carry POTUS’s speech live. So, I did write to that editor asking why didn’t they carry the speech, am waiting for a reply. Our local CBS station are NOT just covering local items…….and they are leaning to the right. They won’t ever admit it……..but have felt with the TOPICS they do cover, they lean right. 🤬

1. What state?

4. Minnesota, but channels are from Wisconsin.......we're just across the Mississippi River

from Wisconsin. So all our local news, weather and sports are from La crosse, WI.

8. Wisconsin, the birthplace of Progressive politics, "Fighting Bob" LaFollette. A crying shame.

6. Our CBS affiliate is now a Sinclair foghorn.

I wasn't home but would bet they didn't carry it.

A quick response, if any, has never been my experience with local broadcasters. You did well.

7. NPR covered it with a panel...

Which they don't do very often, they don't cover all his speeches.

9. I do enjoy

“Boring but important” as I have heard NPR referred, in a positive way. And I believe it’s very true. They don’t have screamers and shouters but you can rely heavily on their reporting

11. WCCO?

Was it WCCO? I remember growing up there. Always watched KARE.

13. No it's WKBT in La Crosse Wisconsin.

14. I guess they're saying that the President and the newly-passed bill aren't local?

If the House Republicans had continued their stubborn ways, they might have found out just how local the topic of the federal budget is.
