Why "local" newscasts suck

Ron turns on the TV at 11 last night to see what had happened in Central Square:

Instead, all I see is coverage of the Michael Jackson trial. Which is in Santa Maria, California, almost as far away from Boston as you can get and stay inside the USA.

He later adds:

Well, now I have to say the Globe sucks more than any of the TV stations. The only coverage in today's picture is a supremely uninformative photo at the bottom of page B1, showing a bunch of hard-hats stringing yellow caution tape outside a McDonald's. There's no story, just a two-sentence photo caption.

The TV news people, once they got to the story, devoted a good three minutes to it, including great footage of smoke coming out of the sidewalk.

Ed. note: Did the Jackson verdict really warrant the Two Hub men die in blast treatment on page 1 of the Globe?
