Tony is doing a GREAT job! Keep up the good work, Tony!
Tony is easily the best of the 3 network anchors. he is fair and objective. Those of us non- Liberal Christian / faith based individuals, need someone to relate; understanding what happens in the Real World not in the Liberal TV/ Academic World. So happy he was hired: a breath of fresh air!
