I'm disturbed and I think all of you are, too. Other than WBKO, I have put a limit on my news watching. Like limiting kids with their electronics, I have done the same to myself. I am allowed to watch the morning local news and the news at five. I sometimes listen to David Muir, but have to remember what I hear may not be true. I trust WBKO to be unbiased.

Dan Wilson, Russell County, KY: Monday a Day of Awe from Sky Tens of thousands of people traveling east was amazing, too Daniel G Wilson writes: Reference to the split sunset, I observed the same thing on the Pennyrile Parkway traveling from Hopkinsville, KY. At that time, I was on the phone speaking with my mother in Russell Springs, KY and she made comment that she could see the same thing as well. Monday was a "Day of Awe" from the sky.

Although it wasn't in the sky, the tens of thousands of people traveling east was amazing. Daniel G.
