[Chris Crocker]

How DARE you Make fun of Channel 4 after all they've been through! They Love El Paso, they went through some lay-offs. ALL YOU PEOPLE JUST WANT TO NOT MAKE MONEY OFF OF THEM!! IT'S A TV STATION!!! WHAT YOU DON'T REALIZE IS THAT CHANNEL 4 WORKS REALLY HARD AND EVERYONE STILL TALKS SMACK ABOUT THEM!!! Leave Channel 4 ALONE!!! PLEASE? LEAVE CHANNEL 4 ALONE RIGHT NOW!!! I MEAN IT!!

Blame that airhead'd weatherman on channel 4 for not getting any nom's, Bette's I believe his name is. His segments and corny / failure of his 'funny' taglines are what make people switch the channel right over to KVIA or KTSM.

Wow...O'Scara actually was nominated for an Emmy as News Director. Hmmmm, what a "leader" she is to put her name down instead of the stations or her staff. Thats pretty impressive considering she's only at the station at tops 3-4 hours a day. Her laziness continues to seep through...take example "A" Here is an exact quote from their listing for Morning Anchor: "At least fpur years of commercial television reporting experience is recommended" I know a lot of people who have four years....not so sure about "f-pur" that must be slang for "must be experienced in brown nosing."

Should you feel sorry for 4? No. Armando and Ramon are doing a good job. Sometimes scooping the other stations. KDBC 4 is hanging in there.

[Kanye West]

HEY YO KDBC, I'M HAPPY FOR YOU REPORTING THE NEWS AND ALL AND I'MA LET YOU FINISH BUT... KVIA IS THE BEST NEWS STATION OF REPORTING IN EL PASO FOR ALL TIME!

Almost every major American law school publishes a law review. Generally, each school's law review, also referred to as the "main" or "flagship journal", publishes articles dealing with all areas of law. This review is normally named after the law school (e.g., the Stanford Law Review, or the Wisconsin Law Review, or the Harvard Law Review). Some other schools do not call their flagship journal a "law review" but, rather, use the term "law journal" (e.g., the Yale Law Journal, or the Rutgers Law Journal, or the Duke Law Journal). Additionally, most schools also publish secondary publications - journals that deal with a particular area of the law. Typically, these journals publish only articles that focus on a specific area of law, such as civil rights and civil liberties , international law, environmental law, or human rights
