Where is Debbie these days?
It’s refreshing to see a true journalist, who represents and speaks openly about her opinions. Elegant, classy, well educated, and above all her strength to go above and to get the right interview! So glad we have you at KSL-T.V.
The pharmacy at IMC closed with no notice and they took no input from patients or staff, nor did they consider the ramifications. As a heart transplant patient, I require life-saving medications that are not available at all pharmacies. Even harder to find are pharmacies that will bill Medicare. It is just around me that a world-renowned transplant center has closed and made it difficult to receive necessary medications. Is there any way to bring this to light?
Glad you are back. Why is KSL reporting nothing about President Biden, the extreme problems on our southern border, the problem of the current inflation and how it began. Don’t we deserve to know? Why are the mainstream media silent? Who is dictating what you can and can’t report? Who is taking away your freedom of speech?
Because KSL is no different than any of the other main steam media outlets. Gone very woke and PC many years ago.
Great to see back on TV. I remember you in Pocatello (where I lived). Then KUTV (I moved to Utah in 02) Now KSL. You are great.
