was not always like this. If it was anywhere that I could get I would know where that was. I read papers from other cities. I live outside Topeka, we do get decent political coverage in the newspaper but if you have to get it from the TV you will likely not get it or get it from someone who is clueless and smiley. It is sad and disgusting. JMO, I prefer news without boobs, giggles, fake male wisdom and duckies. I can wade through the stuff on cable and am capable of making my own mind up.
