that anyone watches tv news, especially local news. I understand older folks watching it because their parents watched it and they grew up watching it. Is there actually any real journalism being performed? Don't the corporate masters almost dictate what the reporters can report on? Maybe I'm wrong.

Do younger people watch tv news? I was shocked to hear my wife's friend and her husband still watch the local news. They're in their late 30s/ early 40s. I don't know. I'm rambling.
