Me too! I miss all the good stuff, I mean. I'd give anything to be able to watch a few LOCAL reports on this case. Thanks to those of you who bring them here. Local reports are sneered at by "big" newspeople, but they are chock-full of facts (or attempts at getting the facts) compared to the two-second soundbites of cable news.
The cable news channels seem to think that they have some sort of high-and-mighty image to protect--so they usually can't just report on the facts, but have to make some high school regional debate championship out of it. (That the cable channels would think they even HAVE some sort of high-and-mighty, or dignified, image to protect, is even more laughable.)
