Not initially impressed

It doesn't look very impressive at first glance. The stories seem geared to the reader with an attention span of 200 words. Maybe it'll improve.

but it's a TV station

On a site called New England Cable News, I'd expect to find primarily video, rather than text.

Knowing English would be nice

I'd settle for their knowing how to use English words correctly. One story says, "The former New York Mayor gained worldwide recognition after 9/11 but the notoriety has faded." Maybe they really mean Giuliani came to be despised in the wake of 9/11, but I don't think so.
