Mary, it was mostly opinion. I mean, he would tell what had happened that day, and then express his own viewpoint--which, I guess, is standard for that kind of show. I'm one of those weird people who flip through the channels a lot, and as soon as I would hear what he would be talking about, I'd flip around and see what the others would be talking about, then I'd decide if I'd go back to Cuomo or not.
This is a little off-topic, but lately I've been watching Rachel Maddow because I like how she sometimes tells news stories in chronological order, which is unusual. For example, instead of saying, "Three children narrowly escaped a flaming school bus today," she'll start out with, "Joey and his little sister Tina got on the school bus today and took their seats as usual." My curiosity always gets the best of me, and I'm hooked for the next five minutes.
