Hallie Jackson is taking over the weekend evening anchor desk at WFSB. She came to the station in July 2008 as a reporter and has also done some investigative work. She replaces Hena Daniels who left recently for another Meredith-owned station, the CBS affiliate in Atlanta. Hallie’s first weekend night at the anchor desk is Saturday, May 1st.
Great move on WFSB’s part. Hallie is an excellent report and I’m sure she’ll be an excellent anchor. They need something to pick them up after Fox61 clobbered them in the emmy nominations. They also need to get off the dime and start broadcasting the news in HD!
Last night was full of folks with good intentions, yet didn’t come acrsos very well in translation. we’re suggesting a 7 round max because that’s what New york did That’s not a convincing argument, or discussion point. It’s very much akin to because I said so.’The Rev made incredible points and I’d watch that man speak about a phone book.Senator Bye made very valid points, and pointing out that she was embarrassed to have received a B’ rating from the NRA because she wanted her jewish constituents to have the opportunity to hunt on Sunday, was an adorable anecdote that highlighted that Laws are getting so complex our Legislators can’t read them all to get a clear understanding of them. So in lieu of clear knowledge they vote emotionally.That’s what too many folks are doing now. Voting emotionally.This is a time for calm conversation, not emotional debate.
My question is, just who are we going to vote for? BrooklynMy feeilng is getting to be that the candidate has to earn my vote with some minimal level of moral decency. I’m done with holding my nose and taking the 2nd worst of two totally unacceptable candidates. I realize there are going to be choices I’m not thrilled with that are still better than the totally unacceptable candidates, I realize that a candidate can so horrible as to make an objectively bad alternative into a necessary alternative, but if I can’t find someone to vote for with a clear conscience or a compelling reason to do otherwise, then maybe they’re just going to have to figure out when they add up the totals from the people voting on the ballot initiatives that there are voters with a vote to cast who voted for someone with no chance to win or let their vote sit rather than give it to either of the front-runners.That doesn’t mean I’m giving up on political action, I’m not correcting the bishops when it comes to weighing moral evils, but I’ve had it with being played cynically for a fool by the major party candidates and that is what both parties have done when it comes to voters who cast votes on moral grounds. They pay lip service and then they ignore those issues and both parties do it! From the standpoint of political strategy, I think it is time to stop letting them think they can keep getting away with collecting votes for putting together the best lip service. They need to offer something more than promises and stale bread crumbs in order to garner a vote.
