Is photo ID necessary to combat voter fraud, as GOP says, or does it disenfranchise minority voters (read: Dems), as Dems say? Turns out: neither. But maybe Dems should be concede on this popular GOP issue as leverage to get more meaningful priorities. abc27.com/pennsylvania-polit…
See that handle? It's true! I'm thrilled to be back at @abc27News. Here's what I said on TV tonight.
SPOILER ALERT: Don't watch this if you believe in the tooth fairy. No station's i-team has anything on Abriana. New at 6 tonight, Abriana investigates: The Truth Fairy! (After I stopped recording, she said: "The downside is, now I don't get any more money.")
Could the fourth time since 2006 (never mind Hooters Air and others in the past) be the charm for @FlyILG? Why have @ACYAirport and @TTNAirport had more historical success? Wilmington's director says there good reason why this time could be different. cbsnews.com/philadelphia/new…
Among Pa.'s 67 counties, Fulton voted more strongly in 2020 for Trump (85%) than any other. It's also Pa.'s least-COVID-vaccinated county (31% fully vaxxed; the most-vaxxed counties are about 80%). I've long wanted to visit and finally got a chance. cbsnews.com/philadelphia/vid…
On Fetterman, Sen. Casey (D): "I think people relate to that." Sen. Toomey (R): "It’s sad to see John Fetterman struggling so much. He should take more time to allow himself to fully recover." Disability activist "very upset about the ableist rhetoric." cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/…
Thanks to @costareports for helping with this one. On election night, we'll watch all 14 house seats the Dems are targeting (8 open seats where Biden/Shapiro won in '20 + 6 with GOP incumbents where Biden won) for early clues re. whether they have a shot. cbsnews.com/philadelphia/vid…
Benninghoff said Dems are using abortion to scare moderates: "[SCOTUS] did not change anything on abortion.... The only thing they said is if anything were to change, it's not going to be done by the federal government."
Yesterday was Day 1 at CBS. Today, Day 2, I got to wake up to this wonderful profile. Too kind, the words by my new bosses and the write-up by @jaxelburgh. Now I have a lot to live up to! I'll do my best. post-gazette.com/ae/tv-radio…
I'm leaving my favorite job I've ever had for an opportunity so perfect I couldn't turn it down: reporting from Harrisburg for not one but two of America's great TV stations: Philadelphia's KYW-Channel 3 and Pittsburgh's KDKA-Channel 2.
The first time I left this business was after hearing Don Henley's "Dirty Laundry" at a weak moment. I got back into broadcast journalism realizing the point of that song - for me - is to absolutely practice this craft but not be the people in the song.
