Bill -- How'd you like channel 11's feature on Frogs and Toads last night.
I learned more than on the 10 O'Clock news.

The local news is like the emperor's new clothes -- too many --
including me watch it out of force of habit. 
It is miserably not news but ye olde violence of the day.  It's also misleading. 60 minutes covered local news on a Miami stationnot long ago and the same sort of violence.  Then they surveyed Miami residents who were convinced crime
had gone substantially up.  The statistics were that crime violent crime
had been reduced significantly.  You would not get this from the local news.
When do they compare it to other years or areas?

Someone needs to lob a major verbal assault and blow local news out of
the lets pretend this is local news syndrome.
