    I’m a former news anchor...

    I can’t tell you my delight that I found Spectrum 1. Well honestly it wasn’t that hard because every time I turn on the television that’s the first thing that comes on. I turn the television on to watch a program but I end up staying for Spectrum news. I’m impressed with everything about it.. it feels as comfortable as your favorite jeans and just as reliable… Especially in this day and age of conjecture an opinion, Spectrum 1 delivers the news clearly and without bias, just the way I like it… The entertainment packages are excellent.I also love the different reporters ,anchors and personalities… I’m here to stay . Thank you Spectrum news.

    Bias

    Spectrum News seems unable to breathe a single word absent bias against President Trump. Almost every sentence conflates fact with opinion. It seems your writers either don’t know how to report information distinct from opinion or, they think all of us out here can’t tell the difference. I’m beginning to believe that almost everyone who writes in the public square has this thing that has come to be called, “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” I am weary of defending a president with whom I disagree so much. However, the way you do your job is more harmful than helpful, because the way you report the news distorts the difference between fact and opinion, and therefore distorts reality itself. Yes, you are destroying reality every time you write. I’m not discouraged, though, because ontology (what’s real) will always went out over autonomy (what you write). Reality is still what is real, and what you write is still fiction, no matter how loudly you crow it.

    A very positive service for subscribers

    I like the news people and the weather people. Both divisions seem to be believable and honest and I have a sense that they are actually reporting rather than editorializing. I think this is a truly great service and I enjoy knowing that what I’m finding out about Ohio is at least reasonable and believable. I think all of the folksThat I have watched are enjoyable as well. They relate to me as a viewer and in many ways most of them seem to be talking directly to me which is a wonderful attribute
