KNX In Depth: Is television news dying?--COVID now a pandemic of the vaccinated--Brittney Griner freed--Harry and Meghan make racism accusation in new documentary series--Tipflation is a new trend but should we really be tipping so many people?

Television has played such an important role in our consumption of news for the past 60 years or so. Both T-V and radio have allowed people to get real time images and audio of breaking news events. But is television news both locally and nationally in trouble? It might be. CNN is laying off a large part of its staff. We're now just hearing about the departures at NBC-4 here in LA of longtime news anchors. We go In Depth into the future, if there is one, of TV news. President Biden once said COVID was a pandemic of the unvaccinated. But that doesn't seem to be true today. We explain. We look into the prisoner exchange that's sending basketball star Brittney Griner home finally from Russia. If you can't get enough gossip and stories about the Royal Family you'll probably be watching that new Harry and Meghan documentary series. We go In Depth into how people in the UK are reacting and if there's another side of the story they're not telling us. Is tipping getting out of hand? We look into how more and more workers are asking for tips at places you really wouldn't expect.
