I don't watch news on TV anymore, local or otherwise. It's never done anything for me. You hear different names, slightly different details, but it's all the same stories over and over...someone got killed, by a gun, in a car, by a cop...Drug busts, legal and illegal drugs...natural disasters, mud slides, forest fires, volcanoes...then there's the political issues.
Illegal aliens, amnesty or not, the congressional budget, gun regulation, this politician is corrupt, that politician is corrupt, health care, government welfare in general, taxation, the economy, bankers and the market...all deliberate divisive political tactics by BOTH Conservatives and Liberals to control the population and keep People from coming together as a majority influence.
What would be nice is to have the news on news stations and ban politics and government issues; politics, politicians and government (local, state, federal and international) on their own specific outlets.
I misread the last part of your comment for a moment to read "news on the news". Not what you were saying, I understand. But inadvertently it highlights what we really need now which is news coverage from real journalists exposing the lack of integrity in these so-called news agencies.
