As the 19-96 General Assembly heads into its second day of overtime, it
finally has a budget and has scheduled to vote on it tomorrow afternoon.
But it wouldn't be party politics without a fight.
And today, the Governor's office picked one with Democrat Dick Cranwell over
the last... and some say most important, outstanding issue: juvenile justice
reform.

"As I feel that your station is a socially-responsible news organization, I
am amazed that you allowed that to be shown as early as six p.m. I cannot
imagine what positive value this brought to the newscast, but can think of
plenty of negatives. With so many coalitions and groups lobbying for removal of
such acts from the television screen, these acts are not good for the valley,
the children watching the news and definitely not for your marketing
strategy...I trust that in the future you will more carefully decide the value
of the film you place on your news programs."

A viewer from Hollins called a foul on our coverage of women's basketball.
"I would be interested to know why men's basketball is referred to...as
basketball but basketball played by women is called girls basketball or more
recently "ladies hoops?" Similar sexist language is used in reference to every
other sport. If they need to, let them refer to basketball teams made up of men
as "men's basketball" and women's basketball as "women's basketball", but if
you show footage these terms are usually not necessary as most viewers can
differentiate between the genders."
