I stopped watching the “news” a long time ago because of its lies and bias. But I did always like Dawna’s style. Congrats, I guess.
Award for best national News Anchor for the liberals
Oh yes of course. One of the most condescending fascist anchors out there spewing from one of the most f*scist, bought out media corporations EVER! Canadas First and Foremost Propaganda machine. Next to CBC and CTV.
Congratulations Donna! Well deserved.👏👏👏
