User Reviews for KSL News: Utah Breaking News
Fix notifications please!
For years KSL has been my absolute favorite news app and news organization. I don’t even live in Utah any longer and still use this app daily. Then COVID came and 6 months in they are still sending COVID number notifications every signal day! These numbers are NOT breaking news and should not be disturbing app users every afternoon. It’s ridiculous, just have a news story we can click on to look at the numbers if we want to get those like every other news app out there. So I reluctantly turned off notifications. However, with notifications off these daily COVID number notifications are still coming through. All the breaking news notifications have stopped but not these. This needs fixed, please! I really don’t want to have to delete the app. What I would prefer to see is the ability to keep on breaking news notifications and turn off daily COVID number notifications. I really still want to receive breaking news notifications but want to turn off these pesky Covid number notifications.
MSM
KSL has swung so far left over the past few years promoting and subtlety focusing positive photos and stories on leftist views and negative stories on conservative politicians or candidates. It used to be subtle and now it’s brazen. I guess that’s what happens when so much of your news staff hold liberal views and you get your news stories from NBC, CNN and AP which represent liberal values and views. I used to think of KSL representing conservative values...not anymore. What happened? You love stories of Mitt Romney attacking Trump, Ben McAdams is our hero of standing up to Trump and on and on you go. You’ve become more of the DNC election megaphone. I’m not a radical far right person, but I’m not blind and it not just me. So many people I know are complaining about the very noticeable shift in political reporting on both KSL TV and your website. Hope you make it back at least to the middle some day. We used to watch KSL news every night at 10 pm...not anymore. It’s a conservative bash show.
KSL and trust In Their reporting
I used to admire and look forward to listening and hearing the news on KSL. That was before they pulled really far to the Left. You might argue that point, which is your right. With KSL turning to their being “ just another mouthpiece of the Democratic Party - and the Socialist and Communists and Marxists and every other divisive, reprehensible and perverted viewpoint that the Democrats seem to embrace” any truth that might accidentally fall from their mouths, so to speak, even anything good about the Mormon Church at this point, is met with a overwhelming urge to cast it away as being so biased and off center, that even considering it is a waste of time. This is how far KSL has fallen! It’s to a point that KSL has almost no credibility. Such is the state of modern Journalism in Utah.
Very biased ‘news’ organization
The app is fine. The news on the other hand is bery biased on most stories regarding Trump. I usually skip those stories because I know it’ll just be a bash Trump session. Information is always left out that would show the actual truth. The titles of many of your stories (not just regarding Trump) are meant only to draw people in. They are sensationalized and don’t represent what you will actually read. The truth is, I only go to ksl news because it’s already on my phone. I try to stick to the local stories only although if you’re willing to lie (by omission) for some stories, they all probably lack the full truth.
Reasons I love KSL Radio ( after all these years - still SO relevant )
I appreciate the news and information from KSL RADIO station for the following reasons: 1) current traffic and weather conditions( you're the best) 2) current up-to date LOCAL and topical interests & happenings Dave and Dejenicic, Boyd Matheson ( ie. current Capitol Hill Legislative session) super! 3)also hearing from Local authorities, great 4) and last & the best hearing from your audience of listeners. 5) sports now - love them( almost forgot) However, you’re not the only team on the field, other fabulous ones ( in my opinion) - radio stations KNRS Rod Arquette hits a home run almost every day, Salem AM 12:30 radio- with varied & excellent broad casters, BYU radio, myriads of podcasters, from various teachers especially GREAT religious teachers, music, Hillsdale College courses, & BYU religious courses, we hardly watch TV anymore, only for a little entertainment- sports games. We have Hale theater! The competition is great and I’m happy to say KSL is still very relevant! Yes, there is Relevant Radio- that’s good. Hey, thanks for asking for my insignificant opinion.
Fantastic news app - not only local
I lived in SLC for many years, which is when I downloaded the KSL app as it was great with local news. Than I moved back to my home state. Now abroad to Europe. Still I keep the KSL app. Why? Not only to keep up to date with local news, from SLC where I have many friends. But most importantly for the “US news” and “world news” parts. I mean they cover EVERYTHING in both categories. Every news item worth of covering. National/World news apps have fewer news items than the KSL app in those categories, which are ignored by most local apps. Not sure how they do it, but this is the ultimate local/national/world news app, if you browse around. Highly recommended.
Mormon Centric Biased News
Like the title says. Comments are silenced if anything against the Mormon church is mentioned. Seeing how this app and entire station is ultimately owned by the Mormon church I’m really not surprised. Everything has to have a tie into the Mormon church, mormon church news and Mormon church comments. Just because the Mormon church says something doesn’t mean it has to be front page. However, it does when the Mormon church owns KSL. News stories are biased. Free thought is discouraged in comments. They have their favorite Mormon commenters and their comments stay. Others like mine aren’t. Even if it’s not a Mormon related story. KSL needs to remember not everyone in Utah is Mormon. In fact, church numbers are falling like flies yet KSL still can’t be inclusive for everyone. If you don’t follow the sheep, KSL will ignore you. KSL is extremely corny and some of their stories are flat out unnecessarily written with terrible fact checking and fact gathering, however I know people have to justify their jobs The app itself is excellent. Easy to use and well thought out unlike their actual news stories. Absolutely any way they can tie the Mormon church into a news story, they will. It’s quite sad really. I’m switching to 2News as their app has gotten way better than it used to be and I’ll be uninstalling this biased, Mormon centric app today. Too bad, I’ve been using it for years but I can’t take mormon news anymore. I really don’t care.
Still frustrated
This comment has to do with the streaming news. There are continuing problems. We get a black screen, and no picture of news or no sound. Then other times we get picture and see the news but no sound of what's being said. Now it jumps in the middle of a story and goes straight into another story that already started. Been doing that several days. Even after updating for bug fixes it still does it. There have been different issues in the past. I know problems can happen and do happen but good grief it just seems it shouldn't happen so many times continually. I don't know if it's an issue from inside the studio. Or if it's the app. But it gets old and frustrating.
Too much click bait
Your coverage of the recent protests has really turned me negative on KSL reporting. I get it that you feel the need to give “voice to the underserved” but enough is enough. The folks paying the freight in this country are being pilloried constantly. The underserved deserve help if they are working to better themselves and their community, not just play the victim role. How about you tell the whole story not just the sensational. By the way we are all victims (even white guys), but most of us move on. Journalists have become “herders” to a particular point of view not reporters. The covid 19 reporting has been over the top in instilling fear. Had a couple mask shame me the other day while I was walking my dog on a remote forest service road early in the morning with no one around for miles. (They were in their car wearing masks). You and your kind (the herders)have contributed to unprecedented economic harm to millions of the same underserved people you claim to care about. Ps I am over 65 and feel it is my responsibility to isolate not the public’s responsibility to isolate from me. How about you show some courage and put some perspective on this whole Covid thing and take some of the fear mongering out. KSL is better than that,I thought.
Biased moderators
The app itself is ok, however don't try to have a debate with anyone on the comment boards if your views aren't in line with the LDS church. The moderators are extremely biased and will not post your comments even if they conform to all the rules. But if your comments are pro LDS you can just toss the rules aside. I thought news outlets were supposed to be unbiased and against censorship. Edit- pretty sure there's at least 1 mod who just deletes my comments without even reading them because it happened twice today. They basically said that congress collecting a paycheck during a shutdown is a slap in the face of every American and both got deleted. I think one mod took offense to me saying Joseph Smith was a convicted con artist with some magic rocks. Anyone wanna wager that I'll get no developer response? Lol
