Haven't watched the big network news for over a year now, but just tuned in to local news for tomorrow's weather.
What I got was a bleating lecture on how my home state, Tennessee, is "attacking" (their words) the LGBTQ community.
How is my state attacking LGBTQ people? We passed laws that prevent trans people from playing sports on teams they don't belong in, require schools to give parents 60 days notice if they plan to teach about LGBTQ topics, and other common sense laws.
The worst statement I heard was, "Trans women ARE women, trans men ARE men..." and that's when I turned them off.
The TV station in question is WBIR, Channel 10, in Knoxville. I can get weather from the Weather Channel and I don't need WBIR's stupid leftist sermonizing. Begone, you children of Satan, you're not welcome in my home anymore.
I’m saying this with love, pede, not condemnation, but you can get your weather from a smartphone with as much or more accuracy than either “news” or TWC. If you’re paying for cable or satellite (it’s been so long since I’ve had cable but from what I recall cable was the only way to get the weather channel), you’re supporting the bad guys.
Btw, I love Knoxville. And Tennessee. Kelsea Ballerini’s “half of my hometown” is a great song.
Peace.
