Local TV news journalism sucks.
This is a personal pet peeve of mine and has been for years. TV journalism all over the country is pathetic. Anytime you see a badly written article, you can bet the farm it was produced by a local TV station.
And it makes no difference if the TV station is in a top ten market or maybe Wherever, MN; it will be bad.
From a practical standpoint, you can get about the same quality of reporting from low cost fresh out of college writers as experienced high priced ones.
