National news lead stories???
Did you ever wonder how the media really decides what to put in front of us each night?
I do.
For example, it is winter and the lead story each evening for many weeks and months more often than not is the weather. We are inundated by the local stations several times a day. Do we really need a detailed snow pile by snow pile report by city what winter looks like? No!!!
Many of us grew up with this kind of winter weather.
Anyway after 10 minutes of weather redundancy then what?
Time for what is going on in the world that may be of interest? Usually not till later in the broadcast. And if it is a political hot potatoe subject or one the "WH" does not like, it does not get air time at all.
The news as reported by the old fashioned news readers of the day is about as obsolute as yesterdays news.
Truthfully now, just how much of what is read to us each day is trully news?
For someone who is modestly connected....the answer is none. I watch just to see how the controversy of the day is handles. And it is usually NOT?
