And to be fair... KUSI subscribes to CNN. Every other CNN affil in San Diego was asked first and refused....and CNN was welcome to send a crew to the border to ask..."are you for or against the wall"? CNN didn't get the response they wanted so they were welcome to ask all the other local CNN newsource clients in San Diego or Imperial county. Notice we didn't hear if CNN contacted KYMA with the same request. And refusal to follow even the basic guidelines established for and by real professional journalist...such as the use of ANY type of style book including the CNN guidelines is an outrage. So what if CNN ditched AP as a source, does that make it OK to ditch the established guidelines taught in J schools across the country...the same guidelines you are expected to follow when a VJ or a reporter is hired by CNN? AP style books used to be included in your "CNN VJ welcome Package"...and you were required to SIGN and date that you read that book which included the AP style guide as part of that packet. Newsflash! KUSI also dropped all the wire services down to the absolute minimum needed to feed the KUSI website. KUSI also dropped CNS (City News Service) so now KUSI has the most organic news gathering in town. Don't tell people in San Diego that KUSI is "right slanted" because people here would just say.... "That's news to us". The KUSI newsroom is full of people of color, and LGBT folks who are very out and proud (and on the air daily)...so all those cards are out of play. Finally....before I put this thread to bed. CNN could have sent a crew to the border to ask people in this area how they felt...but the CNN National Desk is well aware that that would have been a huge waste of money. It was easier just to call the "locals" and see if they would help CNN with it's twisted idea of journalism. I guess FNC has Enrique Morones locked into an exclusive deal ,because CNN would die to get him on the air with the anti-wall opinion...money talks CNN. I can promise you there are plenty of copies of the AP and Reuters stylebooks in the FOX brainrooms and newsrooms. CNN is dead. When they re-adopt established journalistic guidelines they might be considered a real news organization once again. Source fairly...and always have more than one source...basic stuff. Any CNN alums want to chime in here?

I won, because I bet a co-worker the blackout would end before the government shutdown would end.

Seems like a good, cautious move on CNN’s part. If this particular report was being shared previously by sites like Drudge, it raised some red flags.

Could Mediaite at least *try* to hide their biases? That short statement from Steve Cohen doesn't even admit defeat or backtracking from KUSI. And you all wonder why CNN and all of these media companies are called Fake News? Then KUSI does *1* little thing, oh god what a disaster; state run propaganda! Oh but it's ok, CNN, MSNBC, and everyone else can continue their TrumpBash2K20 all day long. DOA.

KUSI has now backtracked on their claim. https://www.mediaite.com/tv/tv-station-that-accused-cnn-of-spiking-wall-segment-for-political-reasons-is-now-backtracking/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

Where the heck did this WUTR sign off come from?

Have I got a GOLD MINE for you! A very rare WCIX "Eyewitness News" (before WPLG would claim it from 1983-2001) intro and theme music. https://m.facebook.com/groups/57138424147?view=permalink&id=10153187842924148&anchor_composer=false There's more vintage WCIX material on the say six facebook page.

Yeah NewscastStudio confirmed it was above homebase so the windowed portion. They briefly showed the exterior and the upstairs portion has white walls facing the windows.

Here’s CNN’s response:

More evidence CNN has completely lost it's way... Note the byline in the KUSI story.. CNN requests KUSI for local view on the border, declines our reporter after finding out wall works January 10, 2019 Mike McKinnon III https://www.kusi.com/cnn-requests-kusi-for-local-view-on-the-border-declines-our-reporter-after-finding-out-wall-works/

Hallelujah KPIX 5 is coming back to 5:30 PST news in over a decade when the CBS Evening News was on at 6 before they moved to 5:30 few years later
