Why local TV news is a waste of my valuable time
I am still just stunned that they did this story!!

Kids are selling lemonade in non disposable glasses for 25 cents. But kids in a neighboring community are selling it for a dime.

We have the highest murder rate in years, there are three kids from Texas who were kidnapped by a sex offender and are rumored to be in this area, the repuke governor just went on an all expense paid (by the taxpayers) vacation at a resort out west, but what does the local news tell us about? KIDS SELLING LEMONADE!

2. Have you noticed how national network news
spends about 1/3 or 1/4 of their shows on non-news of the day? It is often done as a segment lead-in to the network shows like Dateline or 60 Minutes, that come on later that evening.
