Leona S. Morris, a former community college educator who was in her 70s when she came out of retirement in the 1980s to become WJZ-TV’s senior citizen correspondent, died Dec. 23 in her sleep at her Pikesville condominium. She was 104. “Leona was a legitimate member of the Eyewitness News team,”...
An embattled President Donald Trump turned to his favorite medium, television, tonight to try to gain public support for his controversial wall on the United States’ Southern border. But he did so in a highly unusual manner for him — a tightly scripted prime-time address of only about nine minutes...
There wasn’t anything at the Golden Globes Sunday night to rival the emotional power of Oprah Winfrey’s speech last year at the awards show. But there were a couple of moments for me during last night’s telecast that were special and even instructional. My favorite drama and comedy, “The Americans”...
I started 2018 with a column about Mayor Catherine Pugh and the media in reaction to her first tweet of the new year calling for Baltimore citizens to “change the narrative.” It was part of what I described as a larger effort by her last year to falsely blame the media for Baltimore’s negative...
The news keeps getting worse for the right-wing messaging machine that President Donald Trump looked like he had fired up and ready to go last year at this time.

Well, right off the bat (sports pun only kind of intended) I can tell you what I don't like about this “Dancing With the Stars” season: They're doing an elimination tonight based on votes received during the show. So many things wrong with that. First, couples dancing later in the show are receiving...
Bring yourselves back online, my friends. I’m taking a busman’s holiday of sorts from recapping “This Is Us” to recap the, er, challenging “Westworld.” Y’all want to hear something hilarious? I thought the different time periods in “This Is Us” were difficult to manage. HAHAHAHAHA hoo boy, I crack...
Each week William Lee and Nina Metz recap and discuss the second season of “Westworld,” which airs Sundays on HBO. Note: Spoilers ahead We pick up in the aftermath of Season 1, as the park’s robots continue to exact bloody revenge on their human tormentors. 1. The hosts have taken control Will...
I’ve got to confess: I teared up a little there. I’m not sure those tears were fairly won on Sunday’s season finale of “The Walking Dead,” an episode that gave us, at last, the end of the All-Out War. I’m not sure I shouldn’t be approaching the end of the eighth season with the same skepticism...
