Too much local gloom

While I appreciate their local investigations, every newscast starts with one local shooting after another and endless commentary about same. There are many more important things going on in our city, country and the world to blow half the newscast on the endless bang bang shoot em up in Jacksonville. Mention, yes, dominate with it, no. News4Jax seems biased to me, so I’ve switched to First Coast local news. Ask Anthony gets the job done for real people with real problems.

Balanced??

Everything on the site has a Liberal slant to the articles. How about just give the news without your political bias.

App constantly glitching, and the live stream plays more commercials than news videos
