Is A & M still financing the Tribune? That is not a good use of money.

I view that expenditure as paying protection money to the school bully/local gang/the mafia.

If you pay them, they aren't as likely to do hit pieces on you should the opportunity arise.

2nd story down on the webpage.

Texas Tribune article.

Just stop. Do your own reporting if it's a local story.

Calvert ISD closes campus due to COVID-19 cases https://www.kbtx.com/2024/08/21/calvert-isd-closes-campus-due-covid-19-cases/

Thank goodness they are doing a deep cleaning. Despite evidence it makes no difference. That went out with the the end of 2020. And bell bottoms. Kbtx never actually questions anything like a real reporter would do. They are just a press release outlet for the Tribune and their like.

I think Donnie Tuggle does the best job of digging for the facts of the entire lot of reporters. He doesn't just do fluff pieces.

Nice story that includes mention of an auction that takes place Aug. 12-19.

Not very timely if you are into that sort of thing.

Here is the longer version from the 4 pm. Billy Lambert is a great resource. But two things : 1 - what is "general" hunting season. 2 - full auto gun firing at ~1:30 mark.

A lot of times, the script they read from is written phonetically so you don't slip up on a word while reading. And clearly, the script from that story is used for the online text.

The online story has been updated with the proper spelling.

And I agree that if you're going to do news in this market, you should be familiar with the word "Corps".

Sorry I do not buy it... If you make your living with words then you should know how to pronounce them.

I wonder if anyone at KBTX is old enough to remember that this problem was all set to be addressed in 1989 until the CoCS got involved and kicked the can down the road for what may be 40 by the time it's completed?

Well, you can believe the story of someone who's been in that business and done the exact same thing or you can believe...whatever....

Nothing like Rusty chuckle up with Sharp on the pm news about GB and Wellborn Rd. Neither with a clue it's been 30+ years since this solution was proposed and the can kicked down the road for every students lifetime and more. Then I'm expected to buy into a campus underground loop with Elon ? Please take my bet against that …..

The first discussion of the RR and traffic as in 1978 when the RR, A&M, the two cities and Brazos County had discussions of moving the track to the west along the river. The RR was somewhat interested but the other entities could not come to an agreement on the shared costs.

What they should consider to do for the campus issues is have an above ground tram car , like what's at the DFW airport, that goes from the west campus around the Rosenthal Meat Center that carries students and staff to a location around the Evans Library.

Rusty mischaracterized this event and cribbed his tweet from Kamala's campaign twitter account?

I'm so shocked! He's so unbiased and forthright.

I haven't seen him negatively quote anyone for comparing Trump to Hitler or referring to Republican voters as Nazis.

That joke wasn't funny, but the vitriol from the left is just evil.

Yeah disappointing he failed to give full context that it was a stand up comedian with a known insult schtick and not a political speaker. And then not to mention worse statements from the other side shows bias.

He specifically mentioned the comic.

He didn't mention the comic in his disingenuous tweet. I guess maybe he wised up for the "official" news report, though. Yay for KBTX, defenders of democracy.

No, he didn't.

That's an AP wire story.

The 2 female monotone reporters, the large male reporter with goofy pronunciation, and the male anchor that can't pronounce words correctly are just a few of the current problems with our local news.
