but I'm still betting these two will land on their feet and join the growing number of "real" journalists who appear to be making a bit of a comeback. Somehow, "liberal biased facts" have a creepy way of being true.
Our Denver news channels are 99% entertainment with occasional valuable weather and traffic info and decent theater critics. Some anchors look annoyed with the silly reporting of the "news," but that's as far as it goes for "commentary."
