Sen. Joe Biden is giving a speech this very minute at Ohio University Eastern in St. Clairsville, Ohio. It is being televised LIVE on WTOV9 out of Steubenville, OH, but our local Wheeling station (WTRF) is not covering this event nor are they live streaming on the web site. This is unforgivable. They didn't hesitate to "over" cover Sarah Palin's visit on Sunday and ooh and ahhh afterwards - even exaggerating the attendance figure.
I was an avid viewer for local news - but that has changed as of this very minute. I can get my CBS shows on other channels also. For a small, close and personal area, between OH and WV - this bias should not be tolerated. Now I can honestly compare them to FOX news. **This station now has a FOX channel and an ABC network - go figure??!?!?!
I'M DONE - THAT'S IT - YOU FUCKING PISSED ME OFF!!!
***It is 6:20 pm and I got a reply to the "not so nice" e-mail I fired off to the news director of WTRF. I was told that "of course we would not televise one and not the other, we televised the entire speech on our FOX affiliate." (also that my comments were totally unwarranted.) EXCUSE ME - NOT EVERYONE GETS YOUR FOX AFFILIATE ON THEIR CABLE SERVICE!!! How insane. Of course they will run it live on a FOX affiliate and trash it completely.
