Scripps News Reviews

by Lslyan3

I used to enjoy newsy because it reminded me of what news used to be which was unbiased but now it’s too many ads too much propaganda too much pushing of the government agenda. I think they have sold their souls to the companies advertising on their channel now you only hear stories about how the vaccine is a success where are the stories of failure. Where’s the story about a whole school district closing because the faculty had adverse reactions to boosters. It’s no where because it doesn’t fit the agenda. Don’t watch this channel it’s no longer unbiased.

It’s sad to see all the reviews from the lemmings claiming Newsy as neutral or balanced. I will admit, they are smart to present the news in a very plain, no frills manner. It gives the impression that it is pure, unbiased news. But it only takes a few days of consuming their news to realize they are very much left if center. It shows how the media in general has made most of the population unaware of other points of view. People will just accept anything coming from organizations like Newsy that claim to fact check all their news. It is sad that the general population cannot even see obvious bias when it is fed to them 24 hours a day.

I’ve been using ScrippsNews for a couple of years and I really enjoyed it since I can get the different types of news conveniently. Over the course of time, I’ve noticed a liberal slant based on the types of news being reported which I didn’t initially mind. However, recently there is a huge liberal slant in the reported news and it gets to a point where I just close app and think of deleting it. I just want no spin news. If they want to be fair then cover both sides not just one. I turned off all news relating to politics and see if that helps. If not then I’m deleting it.

I like ScrippsNews , but..... you can turn off auto play for the next story, but not for the first story you click on. I personally find this annoying, trying to read while a video plays. Second issue is that ScrippsNews asks you to rate it, which I did in the pop up 3 stars. Instead of sending you to ScrippsNews store to post your review, it opens an email window asking to tell them about the rating. I very much like ScrippsNews and would use it if the autoplay issue is solved, no autoplay unless I ask. The rating issue is just annoying.

Excellent app to use for quick snaps of information and customizable to the user’s interests. No ads, that is a huge plus side to the news world, as I feel like I can trust the content is is geared to inform the consumer of both arguments, as well as provide the information needed to give the user an educated thought, while provoking the thought of finding out more.

The only reason for rating it four stars is the push notification functionality. I fine on my iPhone 8, that when I push to open it plays the same video twice at the same time with an echo. I’m watching the one, while there is another open and playing, causing an echo. That leads me to close the ScrippsNews and search for the story, which can be time consuming. Otherwise, it’s an excellent way to be informed and super easy to use!

I have been using the Newsy AppleTV app and have enjoyed it almost every morning the past few months. It's great to see local news broadcasts collected into one interface.

There is a problem with the sound quality of Newsy broadcasts, but not the other station broadcasts. The Newsy broadcasts have an echo or tinny sound to them. It reminds me a a low bit rate internet stream. The quality is annoyingly poor. My internet connection is 100Mbps through Spectrum.

So the way I found newsy was from a ghost. After playing in the living room I went up stairs to grab my phone and I enter my room and the TV is on I find this weird because I remember turning it off so I ask my brother if he downloaded ScrippsNews and he said no then I look at where the remote was at and it wasn’t in the same spot as where I put it last. The ending is that there are ghosts following me and they want me to watch the news

Been with the Newsy app from the beginning. It has always been one of the best and most concise ways to catch up on the news, and it keeps getting better with the slicker interface today. All of that before mentioning the expansion of the news team and great journalism investment. Still my go to for binging the news.

Not entertaining just informing the way it should be, not perfect dolls on the news here actual people, short, sweets d to the point, not bias that is my favorite no freaky bias!!! Sometimes you can tell certain ones lean one way or another but the whole channel is not in your face political one way or another for a refreshing change!!!

by HappyMe%

Wow! Remember when cable news were about the myriad of news from around the country? Well thank goodness for Newsy! They state the facts from a collection of local news stations. Opinions are clearly stated and do not last a half hour! Refreshing news broadcast that actually reports the news.

I did a class in undergrad titled “Media, Politics, and Propaganda”. The primary focus of class work was how media influences thinking, not only in what is carried as “newsworthy” but also what isn’t, and how these choices influence political thinking and discourse within society.
For those who aren’t aware, “Public Relations” and “Influence” are the watered down, “politically correct” terms for the concept most laypeople call propaganda.

I’ve found nothing from this news service to indicate biased reporting - that doesn’t mean it’s not possible, but it means that to a somewhat educated eye, it’s not completely obvious the way other providers are.

Love this news program for straight unbiased , news in short precise news clips that give you the important facts without fluff added. It’s my go to in the morning to find out what is happening. If I want more info they give me the intro for me to further explore the topic at my choosing. Thanks Newsy!

by Fhyyfc

I was channel surfing to find something that would automatically come up on my tv and provide a morning news update and discovered Newsy. Really enjoy it. Turned on the tv the other day to pick a movie and never left Newsy! Very informative and seems to be fair. Just downloaded app on phone.

I love watching Newsy stories. When I have a few minutes, shaving, etc. I’ll flip it on and learn. The stories are long enough to allow depth but not so long they get boring. The feature on climate change by Zach Tombs was fantastic. ScrippsNews has some technical challenges (sometimes blank to start) so that needs ongoing work. Keep up the good job. No other site like it.

Newsy is used in my classroom for students who have a very short attention span. These men/women are juggling the care of spouses, teaching their children, and tending to the elderly all while working full/part time jobs during this horrible pandemic.

They also requested listening to a news outlet that reports neutrally, not left or right and that refuses to endorse any one political party.

Newsy is strongly encouraged to watch outside of the classroom, and to share with their friends/family.

I wanted a news program that provides an honest reporting of the news with facts not rhetoric. I find that newsy does just that.

WE also love the fact that all of your reporters are young, and culturally diverse just as our country is.😊

by Sandrajreynolds

I give it 10 out of 10 starts! Love not having all the political redundancy on.
Keep doing a great job!
Really honest news all the time. Best news and current an updated. Not partisan but REAL NEES, NOT a FAKE NEWS channel!
KEEP UP THE GRAT WORK. Does fake news broadcasters make $70 million and up a year, I hope you on Newsy become The real journalist as you are Making the big bucks get those stupid fake jerks news salaries one day, and still can be honest.

by Migwood

I saw Newsy on someone’s TV and thought it was very interesting and refreshing. It had short news bites that kept my interest flowing without all the injected journalistic agendas found on all other News.

I noticed a caption to download ScrippsNews and I did.

Now I can have better news anytime I want it.
The best part is it’s format is the one I missed the most without all the newscaster personalities to deal with.

If u remember when cable news 1st came out and gave you news bits from around the world this is it.

But it’s even better than that as you can easily pick which news you want to view as well as it goes in-depth too if you want more on a given news topic.

Bottom line... Newsy lets you pic your news without an agenda or attitude.

This news organization reminds me of how news was somewhat delivered decades ago. However this channel is better. The news back in the day was still propagating the government spiel, which demonized other nations and always put the USA on a pedestal.

Whenever I need to understand the big picture of any issue, I turn to Newsy. They provide complex factual information with an simplistic orderliness that I always walk away better informed.

With CNN and MSNBC one gets mainly opinion interspersed with sketchy factual information, such that it’s impossible to understand what is going on. This is purposeful by the cable news outlets because one keeps watching different show segments to try to glean what’s happening— but they are all providing the same opinionated journalism..

Newsy presenters are young, and look like the diversity of what America is: an array of races, not just white faces.

It’s my new go-to in the morning. Kudos to Newsy.

Unless we can all agree on what the FACTS are, and how FACTS are DIFFERENT from OPINIONS and CONSPIRACY THEORIES, how can we ever hope to move forward. It seems as if Newsy presents the facts very well (to quote an old TV show: “Just the facts, ma’am.”

The one problem: with people actually BELIEVING these conspiracies, REALITY will be a “jagged pill” for them to swallow. They will probably just turn the channel to a biased one. The internet especially, as well as multi-channel cable, always give people a choice to ONLY listen to others who say what they want to hear.

HOW can we fight this WITHOUT impinging on freedom of speech?! Does anyone have an answer?

by J And K Prince

For the last several years I had actually stopped listening or watching the news. It didn’t matter which major news chain I watched, every single reporter had to skew the facts to forward their own opinion or agenda. I just want the facts and be able to make up my own mind. I hate the belittling and negativity that comes from anyone with an opposing opinion (regardless if that opposing opinion was liberal or conservative). All major news chains have succumbed to this poor behavior. And it is unfortunate. I’m grateful I found a news station that just states the facts and I can now, once again, be an informed citizen.

by Buster Sixkiller

When Newsy was first founded, I found it very refreshing to hear what I thought was a neutral take on important topics. Now newsy is just another left leaning social justice proponent pushing an agenda that divides listeners and feeds this stupid victim culture. If you keep trying to make everyone believe they’re victims of idiotic ideas like “toxic masculinity” or “gender discrimination” because a boy opened a door for a girl to be polite and forgot to address her as “Zee,” then you’re no better than CNN. You’ve lost me for good.

by Aosta4me

This a very refreshing look at the news. I am tired of the emotional tone of both CNN and Fox. Here is news that is presented clearly and lucidly. The staff appear to be young and they have a clean way of presenting information. I’m a 58 year old college educated female and find this young news source to be my favorite.

by Laker Hat

Love the simple clean format of ScrippsNews . It gives the news in short burst of video and text as an option. Also it dose not feel like your watching CNN or FOX, just feels like you are watching the news.... with zero ads popping up.

by Zdmop2019

I really enjoy listening to the fact based news that Newsy has made as its foundation. Delivery only facts without opinion, like 98% do not! I believe this is the most unbiased news delivery I have seen in my 51 years of living. A nice cup of coffee & NEWSY in the morning to start your day 😎

by ScarletUnderground

Great news. I am so tired of FOX, CNN, NBC. They repeat the same things over and over and consider their opinions “real news.” I watch NEWSy and I leaned about algorithms, stuff that other stations don’t mention and more. I’m an old demographic, and love and respect this great format, news reporters and their reporting.

by Sparkyparks

I enjoy Newsy for Apple TV. True to Pulitzer they make a decent attempt to report just the facts. An occasional left leaning bomb is thrown but not as bad as the big boys. At least they refer to the President of the United States as President Trump and not “Trump” like many media outlets. Funny....I don’t recall any media outlets referring to President Obama as just “Obama”.

by ShahTampa

Newsy is one of my main resources for news, the reporters have integrity and afforded honesty. Thanks for great work and I like to see you grow, Highly recommended especially if you’re interested in the real news and can live outside your echo chamber.
