Jim Shella has given Mitch Daniels an almost complete pass the last seven years, so he doesn't just give a free pass to Democrats only. As Paul said, he favors those in power. Shella's IWIR has become the "Mitch Daniels Rah Rah Half-Hour" (while Gerry Dick's "Inside Indiana Business" is the "Mitch Daniels Rah Rah Hour"). Shella has never really brought-up the scandals and major problems of Daniels and only grudgingly talks about them if someone on the show mentions it. He is quite a joke of a reporter especially when Brad Edwards and Deanna Dewberry actually ask good questions.

But of course, WISH just hired a buxom weather gal... Just shows ya where their priorities are.

Brad Edwards was actually able to put together a real story, not just the usual fare consisting of enumerating items in plain view of the camera while making all sorts of guesses and assumptions about what we're seeing. Except when they stand there for 1 1/2 minutes before finally saying 'let me step out of the way so you can see what's happening behind me.'

In fairness to Shella, CT, Shella sucks up to people in office in both parties, not just the Democrats. If you're someone challenging those in power, Shella will mock you and try to marginalize you. And don't expect any report from him that actually involves investigation as opposed to a story simply handed to him.

I have to disagree with that view in general. The TV news reporters in this town have been running circles around the Star's reporters for years now, and you don't have to put up with all of the editorializing by the newspaper that typically misses the mark by a mile.

They need to change the night anchors. Ditto on the Statehouse reporter. Stop watching WISH news a long time ago. TV news is a joke any more, I get the news in the car when I'm out, After all tv news is just someone reading the news anyway. Unless they have someone 'live' on the scene. What a dumb statement that is.
