I have appreciated the variety of perspectives from NewsNation. But.. the morning anchor is channeling her inner Fox News with her editorial comments. Journalist need to provide the facts; opinion consults provide their perspective. Adrienne too often adds her own spin. Please keep the news and opinion in their own lanes.

For years I have taped morning broadcasts. GMA has long been my favorite. So I was disappointed on July 7, 2022, to watch a major news story about the resignation of the British prime minister well covered on CBS and NewsNation but scarcely mentioned on GMA. My favorite show is more about Deals and Things than news. My interest is in real news so I'll be changing my viewing habits.

Tonight Lester used a throwaway line claiming there is a study that shows eating half an egg more a day led to a 6% chance of disease and an 8% chance of death. Or some such. There have been, literally, thousands of studies. Who administered this one? How large was the study? Half an egg more than how many a day? And who eats half an egg anyway? How many years did the study last if you claim 8% of a certain number of people who eat half an extra egg a day because they ate that half an egg. I could go on and on and on but you get the idea. It is this kind of lazy, imprecise, no valid source, no follow up that causes thoughtful people to seek their news elsewhere.
