WLOSer Heather Graf was at the helm of the 6 o’clock on Sunday. We’re in mid-sweeps, and the best they had was story about the story they’ll have at 11 about the five-year anniversary of the arrest of Olympic Park and abortion clinic bomber Eric Robert Rudolph.

What is it about WLOSers giving us no news at 6, and telling us they’ll have the full story at 11? I want the news now, not at 11. Very frustrating.

Anyway – five years since the arrest of Rudolph. Wow. Seems like such a long time ago. Sounds like the story by Russ will touch on the long-rumored assistance Rudolph received from locals. Should be interesting.

The only other interesting story WLOSers had was Kassandra Pride’s tidbit that there are temporary layoffs coming at Haywood Regional Medical Center. There were no details, but it’s nice to see that not everyone has forgotten about that big story.

In terms of the weather, WLOSers have completely blown every forecast this week, so I just can’t take them seriously. Period.
