PBS and FOX. Who would have thunk it? CBS, ABC, NBC...nothing.
I do not have cable, only free over the air tv.

10. So what's REALLY going on out there -- if you live in or near Tuscon? |
|
I remember when a pro athlete in the San Diego area was shot by a policeman. The local DU-ers were immediately able to call bullshit on the cop's story because he was WAY out of his jursidiction!

6. Yes, it is a local FOX affiliate, but the local CBS & ABC stations are carrying regular programming. |
|
FOX was really the surprise, not PBS.

12. Well I'm glad you found it! Our local Fox affiliate is kind of more "local" than |
|
the other three - don't quite know how to explain it. Maybe not as BIG as the other networks?

7. Yep, the other networks just switched to the memorial. |
|
It seems kind of mercenary on their part though to hold off until this point. After all, FOX here only has 2 hours of prime time programming and was giving it all up.

13. Gabby's husband is there and was the first to give Obama a standing O, so I think |
|
he's appreciative.
And really, it doesn't matter what we feel (we're on both sides of this) but if it's healing to the families who lost loved ones and to the community.
