• WKRG-TV had a report about some members of their local news operation being honored at an awards ceremony hosted by the Associated Press of Alabama in their local news programming this past Saturday on the eighteenth day of this June (one of the news presenters for the operation (Ashley Knight) seemed to admit to bragging about the awards while introducing the report when she said, "We're going to take a minute to brag a little bit about ourselves.*

• One of the commissioners for the county of Baldwin in southwest Alabama (Tucker Dorsey) had used the newsroom for WKRG-TV to appear on a TV program for the Cable News Network (CNN) this past Friday on the seventeenth day of this June (WKRG-TV had a report about his appearance on the program on one of their own TV programs that day ("WKRG News 5 at 10 [p.m.]"); as for the name of the program on which he appeared, it was "Erin Burnett OutFront").

• Two of the news presenters for the local news operation at WALA-TV (Lee Peck and Lenise Ligon) had used the term "nominee" erroneously while referring to one of the members of the Democratic Party in the United States campaigning for the presidency of the states this calendar year (they did not say which candidate by name) while teasing their audience about a report about him or her for some of the local news programming they had on the night of this past Friday (under the name "FOX 10 News at 9:00 p.m.")**

(**the narrator of the report (Doug McKelroy of the FOX News Channel) had also used the term "nominee" erroneously in reference to one of the candidates as part of the report (he said it was a candidate named Bernard Sanders). He even used the phrase "presumptive nominee" in reference to another candidate for the same party as part of the same report afterwards (he said it was a candidate named Hillary Clinton).
