But you know what..if they're screwing up the local stories, we have to be cautious about the bigones too. They are my primary 'national' news station..but over the past 3-4 weeks, I've been more cautious when listening to their reporting.
They get their local stories from local people.
I have to kinda chuckle about this. People come on Free Republic and post some pretty outrageous stuff and it's swallowed whole.
It pays to be cautious, but I just can't stand the editorial slant of CNN and MSNBC on many stories. The one major exception was CNN's reporting of the Columbia disaster; it was head-and-shoulders above everybody else, I hear; I never left CNN's coverage during that day.
