When it comes to the national/network media, I totally agree with you. I mean really, why in heaven's name would the Governor of Virginia care about what is forecast for NYC when this storm is bearing down on his state? Yes, Piers Morgan of CNN asked Gov. McDonell that earlier today.
However I prefer to watch/listen to the local folks as tey actually have a vested interest in what they are talking about. they and their families live and work in these communities.
I don't need, nor want, some blow dried dude or dudette from NY or DC or Atlanta telling me what is going on in my area, I want the guys and gals that know the area and actually know what they are talking about.
One thing I hate about where we are (NAS Patuxent River area) is that the “local” TV stations are based out of DC (1 1/2 hours away) or Baltimore (2 hrs away) so it’s not often our area even gets mentioned on the news. Been watching a lot of FoxNews and Weather Channel lately...
