What is going on with FOX 29 NEWS (WTXF)

It is amazing what has happened to FOX 29 news in the past few months. Several people have left the station including Julie Kim, Michelle Buckman and now Kerri Lee. Does everyone think think that the reason why all of these people are leaving the station is because the news operation and the newscasts itself are that bad?
 
What makes you think anyone is watching? Finally, people are coming to their senses and there's been a steady reduction in the number of folks watching local TV news and getting their information from other sources. It's that simple.
 
One would "hope" that's why they left, but, highly doubtful. 29 is unwatchable, in my opinion. 90% of their newscasts are canned network stuff and talk/conjecture/opinion...10% actual news. They think they're offering the viewer an alternative, something "different". Who knows. I personally could care less what one's opinion is on the news of the day. Because FOX NEWS has become that type of format is why they're trying to go in that direction too.
 
I would have to think the people who are leaving 29, if they are fortunate enough to leave on their own, are accepting better offers, not so much as the quality of their newscasts. (See also: the guy who refused to give up his job cleaning up after the elephants at the circus because he wanted to stay in "show business.")

As long as more and more stations conjure up a 4:30 AM newscasts, they will find more bodies to man the news desks.
