WTF!?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

This totally sucks. He was one of the classy, good anchors on local KC television.

All of the class-act anchors are gone. All of these new people suck and try to sensationalize everything too much. KCTV is now all like, "And after the break we'll tell you about a threat in the Kansas City area that CAN KILL YOU!!!" When you come back, its like smog or them increasing the chlorine in the drinking water (or some lame-duck crap like that).

That is why I rarely watch local news anymore.

That is why I rarely watch any news anymore. I'm young and don't remember a lot, but guys like Brokaw, Jennings, and Russert will NEVER be back again. First off there's too many different competing networks for any one figure to gain enough fanbase to become a legend, and also there's too much fluff and sensationalism to take them seriously. When you have to take a given amount of news and make 24 hours out of it, you're going to get crap out. "Massive bombing in Islamabad kills 28, and see how this kitten can play the keyboard!"
