You've taken this as an opportunity to slam Beck. I've never heard him tease deadly strollers or killer cribs, generally speaking he talks of the constitution and crooked politicians. He's hard;y hyping killer toys at McDonalds. I find it sad the White House makes it a point to attak him and other talk show hosts as it to intimidate or shut them down. Beck goes so far to have a hotline only the White House has the number. He uses it so they can rebut his comments, nothing but silence from the White House....

Wait....local news really isn't local.....many of the stories are pulled from other stations throughout the nation...Way too much weather coverage in Indianapolis......They start out with 2 minutes of weather, 10 minutes later a tease to weather, then the weather portion of the news....oh and one more parting shot of all the pretty graphics the weather department has just before going off air. A meteorologist is the only occupation you can consistantly be wrong, but still make a living. Ron, you are spot on!! If someone were to write down the teasers the news gave us throughout the day and going into commercials one would see the target audience.
