        I knew someone was going to take that tack. There is no question that this guy is a "personality" doing the news. But without the context of whether this is a "normal" way he reports - and the market responds well - it might be premature to say "bad."  

        Remember, Detroit has long been a market for thinking "out of the box."  Check out some of the CKLW radio news reports on YouTube, etc., to understand the mentality.

        Overall, the conditions he showed ... stunning to believe that this is allowed to continue.
