The guy is going on and then he not quoting, but brings the 'Motherland' into the news report.

I yelled my typical "Bullshit!" at the radio.

KNX News radio is owned by See BS. I feel the slant right.
Also, any fire victims who wish to bash our Dems in Ca. gets more airtime. (LA)

I called them on it last year!
