"Elections have consequences"

Thus started the 5:00 PM news at KSTP channel 5. And they detailed the quick passage of laws: the gay marriage, of course, tax increase on the wealthy, all day kindergarten.. The only two major failure: raise minimum wage and gun control law. Shame, really.

But it was nice for whoever writes the news to present it that succinctly.

(When we are home at that hour we watch KSTP first 15 min because it is no nonsense, non-Minnesota, Gophers, Vikings, etc. Plain national and international and local NEWS! Oh, and not a repeat of all the gory details from the Local section of the strib, the way WCCO does..)

I loved the personalities on WCCO and it was my mainstay news channel all of my life and I still check in on their website......news is a choice of individual selection..however, I would never knock another station on such an open forum...I think that is a bit sleazy

A bit sleazy? That seems pretty strong for such a mild expression of opinion. Myself, I would never knock someone's opinion of a station, particularly such a modest criticism, by suggesting he/she is a bit sleazy, but that's just me I guess.
