- hik 5y agoI don't think calling it propaganda is quite right. "Muckraking" is probably more accurate.
- abrahamepton 5y agoMuckraking implies at least a casual desire to stick to the facts, which is entirely absent from Sinclair-owned stations.
- waiseristy 5y agoI don't even want to begin to engage upon what you purport KOMO to be, because I don't really care... But the people and lives that video shows are real. Do you have left-wing friendly media pieces to balance it out? This is not something that is typically portrayed positively in media in Seattle, so it's not easy to find good news
- waiseristy 5y agoYou do you HN. Downvote the uncomfortable opinions! That'll surely help everyone
- kyleblarson 5y agoHave you walked through Pioneer Square or down Third Avenue in Seattle recently?
- abrahamepton 5y agoYep, I have! Homelessness is a profound and society-wide problem, with no easy answers unless you consider "spend way more money, build way more housing" an easy answer (which I do). Until we do those things, it should be no surprise that a region with skyrocketing rents has a housing crisis, and that will present itself in myriad unpleasant ways.
