I don't think I've ever heard that it was fabricated. I have heard that the reporting was biased (no question on that one -- for some reason, the Sentinel hates TV and the Morses) and that it was not accurate -- haven't managed to get all the facts on that one). The Sun has done a couple of articles on the IRS and bond issues. I believe them about as much as I believe the Sentinel -- both have their own agendas and, thus, slant the news.
But, no TVers are not the last to know if they choose to stay informed. Are they going to hear the bad things from the Morses? Not if the Morses can help it. Remember, the Sun and the local TV/radio stations are really more of an advertising media for TV than anything else. Are we going to hear the good things from the Sentinel? Nope. So, you have to look at all sources -- other local papers; online articles; local television (other than channel 2); local news radio. You can be as informed or uninformed as you choose to be.
