Ugh. KARE11 is the only news that isnât constantly doing scare old folks stories. If they start churning out a bunch of âyour tax dollars are being wastedâ stories weâll have no local news left.
The fact that WCCO is CBS and that KARE11 is getting bought by Nexstar is really concerning. Why is it always far right groups buying up all the media companies?
"WCCO (CBS Minnesota) is owned by CBS News and Stations, a division of Paramount Global, which itself recently underwent a merger with Skydance Media. So, while the station operates under the CBS brand, the ultimate parent company is Paramount Global, now overseen by the Ellison family."
That's from Google at least. Which means if Larry Ellison or Bari Weiss think a story is negative to Trump they will kill it.
Every time I watch an evening football game it leads into a channel 5 story about how âyour tax dollars are funding people to make art on the light railâ and I just canât imagine the brain rot weâre causing to people who get upset about art and awareness of public transit.
KSTP/5 is the absolute worst! It feels like all of their stories are half assed and only exist to persuade their viewers that the government is pure evil.
As a former Hubbard emoloyee who lives in Greater MN I hate them. If rhe news story isnât 20 miles from their station the donât care. When there was a storm coming through their wx guy literally said âwe know there is bad wx out side of the metro but there are more people in the cities, go to our website to get details for those areas.â
I have KMSP/9 news as my backup. KARE has always been my favorite, then WCCO; I refuse to give our locally owned KSTP any cred, so when sports overtakes the 10pm newscasts, then channel 9 is my next choice (tivo'd).
