I lifted my subject line straight from that article.

NECN is the cable news outlet serving the New England region, it is now owned by COMCAST/XFINITY, and it, to put it politely, "leans right." It's sort of like Fox with half a brain.

I wouldn't get overly excited over this attempt to shit-stir and derive GOP "amusement" from so doing. It's the kind of thing Republicans do.

Warren and Obama differ on some issues, they've differed before, they might well differ again. That said, they also have many points of agreement.

It's a big tent. We're not lockstep, we're Democrats.

About 2 weeks ago I messaged them about this issue. Of course there is no reply and I didn't expect one. I also commented to them about one of their reporters, Alison King. In my opinion, she wears her Republican colors on her sleeve.

The best part of NECN is their Weather group. They are all great. Wonderful personalities and a good job trying to do a weather report for this neck of the woods.

95 degrees 3 days ago, 43 degrees this AM. Got to love Massachusetts!

They kiss Charlie "Nitwit" Baker's ass every chance they get.

I like them for breaking regional news and the weather. I don't care for most of their "analysis" though, ether!

My heat came on last night--I've turned it off for good for the season!

I think it was PBS. Senator Warren was asked about "the rift" and she is was not personal.
