He specifically mentioned the comic.

No, he didn't.

That's an AP wire story.

Fair enough, he posted and linked to it. I concede Rusty is lazy.

Today the current President called half of the country garbage.
Biden calls Trump supporters garbage

I wonder if Rusty will report what was said

Surely he will. He's an unbiased journalist.

He won't comment on the comment from Biden at all…going back to the original tweet regarding the Trump rally, he said "speakers" in that tweet, when it was one speaker and that speaker was a comedian.

Yes. And the current president and VP have called their opponent Hitler and all his supporters Nazis. This is a worse insult than what the comedy routine said, and yet crickets.

Local reporters should just stay out of politics if they can't hide their bias. Show both sides evenly and don't prevaricate on tweets.

Dud y'all ask to speak to the "manager" of KBTX, and how did he/she respond?

Funny that both sides are claiming the other has said worse things. The lack of class by the nominees put forward is a sign of the pending spiral of quality representatives. And people don't seem to care. Character no longer matters. Integrity is non-existent. As long as our side wins, we've shown that we don't care what they say....only what the other side says. The knew campaign slogan is basically "at least we're not as bad as the other side".

Regardless of who wins....America is going to reap who we voted for.

You are missing the point of the last few comments. It's not the politics.

It's his obvious bias.

Don't care about personality. I care about policy. I don't care what the candidates say only what they do. However I'd prefer my local news guy to keep his opinions to himself.

Or be balanced and professional

His replies on X from his KBTX account aren't even professional.

Believe it or not, I'm no fan of the guy whatsoever. Not because he's biased but because he's lazy and is an attention monger.

And my comment about complaining to the KBTX management was at least half-serious.

Mike Wright leaving was a sign and a point to mark as before and after. Darryl's wife won't rock the boat. She's a great person but will not rock the boat answering to national. It's just the way it is.

I have no issue of him "reporting" it, however, it was the way he reported, labeling it "speakers", instead of comedian…he knows, just like we know, most people will just read the tweet and not the linked article..also very telling he hasn't, at least I haven't seen it, posted a linked article regarding Biden's comments…

This whole thread isn't about KBTX at all, it's about people having hurt feelings over what gets reported on national news through local news outlets, and thinking there's some sort of anti republican, anti 34 count felon Trump conspiracy.

Maybe yall should take this whole thing to F16, Rusty and the rest of the KBTX crew do a great job!

[We are going to allow comments about local coverage of the election but we are going to remove posts that start a derail into national discussions. -Staff]

Your post is the first post on this thread that comes across as someone with hurt feelings or anger.

Why can't a local news station be discuss on here, forum cop? We aren't talking about national broadcasts.


Based on your posts on "f 16", I'm not surprised that you are defensive at what is being posted.

See my post above, I don't care that he is posting it on C and FB, my problem is how he framed it as "speakers", instead of comedian and how he has completely avoided what Biden said…I like him and enjoy all the stuff he posts locally, just be a stand up guy and post it accurately, he did not…saying otherwise is just lying.

Welp there goes the last of my respect for their weather forecasting.

Back to the sprinklers…sigh.

Rapid fire KBTX this pm - they highlight the HD 14 on high speed rail - when the land being condemned is 15-20 miles to the east of their boundary in HD 12. What genius came up with that in the news room ?

It seems like the mainstream media has toned down the insults on the GOP, which is recommended. Focus on parades, new businesses, teacher of the week, etc. It is obvious that at least 50% of the population has shifted.

Keep viewers happy and make money from the companies that like to advertise.

People have migrated to other news services and podcasts. Mainstream media needs to wake up and maybe squeeze a few more years out of TV broadcast.
