Remember this is the place where in 2007, 2 choppers crashed into one another during a chase (Phoenix), so they have a MUCH different way to handle pursuits. Plus there's chopper sharing. One of the two stations who lost their chopper that day now shares a chopper with a competitor.

By the way, a reporter for the Orange County Register posted on his Facebook that FoxNews just televised the ending of a car chase in Arizona where the suspect killed himself. He seemed to be indicating Shephard Smith and his crew were to blame. My response to him was: I think all the LA stations did this a few years back, which is why their sky reporters now immediately pull to a wide shot upon the conclusion of any car chase. I don't know how many televised pursuits are done in AZ or if they have protocols in place like LA. But you don't time delay the news, so sometimes people watching will see something graphic. This isn't a FoxNews thing. This is a broadcast standards thing. There are many other reasons to fault the cable network. This isn't one of them. -- Kevin M. (RPCV) -- TV or Not TV ....
