The local stations have become shameless at scraping news stories from other sources and putting it up. It's no longer surprising to hear an anchor say that a public figure said something and have the graphic be a tweet from that figure. The station will show video of a deer crashing into the glass of a convenience store in another state rather than do stories with a local reporter in City Council chambers. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
