I got in on the first run of Reverse Mode C but got rid of it soon after in a trade for a guitar and ended up kind of regretting it. Happy they ran it again.

Can't find it online, but I recall WCCO's evening news coverage of Trump's 2019 Mpls rally as embarrassingly slanted and awful. The reporters were seemingly aghast at and terrified by the protests, and they had what they advertised as an insider's view of the campaign that was a total bust.
