This Just In ...

Kevin Fischer is a veteran broadcaster, the recipient of over 150 major journalism awards from the Milwaukee Press Club, the Wisconsin Associated Press, the Northwest Broadcast News Association, the Wisconsin Bar Association, and others. He has been seen and heard on Milwaukee TV and radio stations for over three decades. A longtime aide to state Senate Republicans in the Wisconsin Legislature, Kevin can be seen offering his views on the news on the public affairs program, "InterCHANGE," on Milwaukee Public Television Channel 10, and heard filling in on Newstalk 1130 WISN. He lives with his wife, Jennifer, and their lovely baby daughter, Kyla Audrey, in Franklin.

InterCHANGE on Channel 10 Friday night

Here are the the topics we'll discuss at 6:30 Friday night (repeate Sunday morning at 11:00):


1 – Baseball Steroids.

Baseball gets ready to release the report on the widespread use of performance enhancing drugs by players.  We’re being told to expect dozens of names of athletes who used these drugs.  Will there be any surprises?  Is this a big “Who cares?”  This report by former Sen. George Mitchell has been nearly two years in the making.  Will this simply allow Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig to claim to have taken necessary steps to clean up the sport?  Will it be fair to ruin the reputations of the athletes who were using these drugs, before they were even banned by baseball?  Will it be fair to ruin the reputations of the athletes if their use of these drugs was encouraged by management who “looked the other way” while the stadiums were filling up with fans whop wanted to watch the likes of chemically enhances McGuire and Sosa?


2– Emergency Contraception.  

State lawmakers are discussing whether emergency room doctors should be required by law to offer rape victims the morning after pill to prevent an unwanted pregnancy.  Should doctors who might find this offensive and immoral be required to do this?  Should hospitals affiliated with certain religious beliefs be required to offer this? Is this ending a pregnancy, or preventing a pregnancy?  Is this emergency contraception, or abortion?


3 -- Middle School Sex-Ed.  

The Elmbrook school board is trying to decide if any middle school students should be taught about the dangers of oral sex during school sex-ed classes.  Is 6th grade too early to be teaching kids anything about oral sex?  Or, should that job be left to parents no matter what the age of the children?


4 -- Illegal Immigrants. 

A new statewide poll shows that quite a few residents, often a very sizable majority, are opposed to giving illegal immigrants the same public benefits offered to legal residents of Wisconsin, including drivers licenses, in-state college tuition, a public elementary and secondary education, etc.  Is public opinion being ignored by the main stream media?  Is public opinion being ignore by elected representatives?

 

Sounds like it'll be a heckuva show.
