#3 - WISN 12, ABC…read more The only con I have for this station is it's choppy signal. I can't get it most of the time. Anyway, it's still a fantastic station. It has a great news team, sublime sports, accurate weather, and it's not been infected by the disease that I call "Disnebola"! Disnebola is Disney's stupidity. THANK GOD THERE IS NONE HERE.

've reached the point where I no longer trust WISN-TV to deliver politically balanced coverage…read more The issue isn't that they never include opposing viewpoints--it's how those viewpoints are handled. Time and again, their reporting appears to follow a pattern: one side of an issue is framed as reasonable and authoritative, while the other is reduced to brief soundbites, weaker scrutiny, or less context. Even when anchors like Shawn Oswald present stories in a calm, professional tone, the imbalance shows up in the story selection, framing, and follow-up questions. Those editorial choices matter more than delivery--and that's where the bias becomes noticeable. What's especially frustrating is that this isn't about one story--it feels consistent. Whether it's state policy debates, public health decisions, or local government coverage, the pattern repeats often enough that it's hard to ignore. Local news should be the most trustworthy level of journalism. Instead, WISN increasingly feels like it's shaping narratives rather than simply reporting facts. If WISN wants to maintain credibility across the community, it needs to do more than include "both sides" on paper. It needs to: Apply equal skepticism to all viewpoints Give competing perspectives comparable depth and context Avoid subtle framing that nudges viewers toward a conclusion Until that happens, viewers are right to question whether they're getting the full story.

I love public television and public radio. Super nerd alert (robot voice) alert. alert. (robot…read morearms) And MPTV is MKE is pretty dang A-OK. Better than A-OK, in fact... I'm a fan, even! Here's why: -NOVA and Frontline are totally boss, period -some people like John McGivern's show -they promote learning and critical thinking and doing and being in a really great way -the theme song/commercial for the station itself makes me feel warm and safe and happy -sometimes you might want to learn about knives in the Test Kitchen or whatever -Lidia Bastianich can cook up some mean Italian eats -Bob Ross at odd times -I don't care about quilting or woodworking but maybe someday I will -kids should watch their kids' programming instead of the Disney Channel or MTV or whatever mind-rotting shit kids watch these days (waves cane)

I love their programming...if there'd ever be a good signal. For the last couple of months though,…read moreit's been extremely frustrating; and although I hesitate in saying...largely worthless!
