Local news isn’t local news only because it’s localized. It’s local news because it doesn’t rise to the level of everyone gaining something by knowing about it.
Knowing about a 5 alarm fire in Cincinnati, my home town, is of little benefit to me. So, knowing about a 5 alarm fire in NYC is just a waste of my time.
It is an example of NY media going into their navel-gazing act.
Why don’t you just pop over to another thread instead of wasting your time on this one?
