As a Kirksville resident, I am routinely subjected to KTVO's "news coverage." I no expect to be informed by their newscasts, but entertained or disgusted. While their blatant lack of character, integrity, professionalism, and good taste enables them to adhere to the stereotypical sleazy media stereotype, their ineptitude prevents them from reaching their apparent “goal.” You two refer to them as “whores.” Whores get paid for their service. KTVO has to give away their broadcasts, because no one in their right mind would ever pay for their news coverage. In other words, don't give them so much credit.
