All of the local news stations here seem to be sharks. They border the poparazzi with their constant coverage of "breaking" stories. The main problem is that they report the stories way too early and end up changing the story as it goes. For example, there was a phony hostage crisis at a hotel in Orlando, but it ended up being a hoax. They also beat stories into the ground. A two year-old was reported missing three weeks ago, and we get an update every single day. The update is usually that there is no update.
The other thing that irritates me with the local news here is that there are no accidents - ever. There always seems to be someone to blame for everything and they seem to believe that action needs to be taken on every situation. For example, tonight's news reported a drunk driving accident, a single SUV rollover, but because the kids were underage, someone needs to be held responsible and criminal action should be taken (that's almost exactly what they said). Fortunately, Matt and I are intelligent enough to think for ourselves and not believe everything we see on TV. It's just annoying.
