WRAL, again…promos for your talent and ninja programming is NOT “news” it is advertising and we are not fooled.

Also on the Delta bag check issue, last time TSA apparently pulled my bag and rifled through it and didn’t replace my lotion cap and spilled nail polish in my bag. Horrible mess and my curling iron is gone. Lesson learned…don’t precheck your bag on Delta. Do it at the gate.

[Beth Wilson @bethcwilson1]

After traveling on Delta lately I’ve learned the trick! Don’t precheck your bag. They beg you to check it planeside and then you don’t have to pay the crazy fee. I’ve wasted $60 in the last month thinking I was being a good citizen and checking my bag on the curb. :-(

I now understand that the WRAL noon edition is entertainment news, Not news.

[Beth Wilson @bethcwilson1]

And an absolute magical follow up sequence from WRAL, it’s very next article was disguised as an Olympics update but turned into another one of their programming advertisements.

[Beth Wilson @bethcwilson1]

Tuned in to catch the news and what’s WRAL featuring? Their upcoming programming of a drama television show. Yes this is informative and important.

[Beth Wilson @bethcwilson1]

Once again, WRAL is propagating fake social media posts and calling it fact checking. I won’t link or repost because unlike WRAL I prefer not to share fake news. But it’s on their mobile home page. Spoiler alert…she is alive and well.

[Beth Wilson @bethcwilson1]

Oh! And that was it? WRAL, finished with commercials and nothing on the teasers that were set up before 6:30. Ok, if they can forget about it so can I.

[Beth Wilson @bethcwilson1]

Just poured a cup of coffee and came back and WRAL is on commercials again.

[Beth Wilson @bethcwilson1]

WRAL, now setting up the Today show. I think we’re done for today. Back to the commercials.

[Beth Wilson @bethcwilson1]

The teaser on WRAL before 6:30 about jobs has still not been mentioned. Now on to Orange County vaccine requirements, mask controversy protests, Covid cases in kids. Injuries at an event in Wendell. The new building downtown. Tropical storm Fred. And on to Elizabeth.

[Beth Wilson @bethcwilson1]

Housing stories now on WRAL, 2 minutes. Set up for a previously set-up story on high school sports and now, more commercials.

[Beth Wilson @bethcwilson1]

Finally, some actual news items on WRAL. The situation in Afghanistan, covid vaccinations in schools, ban on exotic pets. In total, 6 minutes of actual news, then commercials.

[Beth Wilson @bethcwilson1]

Watching WRAL for the last 30 minutes and so far there has been one actual news item reported-the weather. Other than that it’s been set-up teasers and promos for other programming on the channel.
