Local television is still the No. 1 source for news and part of the family.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Local television is a slightly different story. It is under much more pressure in the same way that all local businesses are, whether that's a local newspaper, local radio or local television. But I think television in the aggregate is actually in very good shape.
People essentially like local news better than network news.
Television's very dependent on images. That's not what news is.
TV news is what you want it to be, and if you want it to be different, take a look at what you watch.
We take what's shown on television as the truth, and it isn't. News isn't even the truth on television. If you look up the definition of what news is, it isn't that what we're watching on the new - it's entertainment.
Some of the most important stories don't lend themselves to television treatment.
I've raised my daughter with no television.
My mom and dad were divorced, and although they got along very well, my mom thought American television was reprehensible, so I was raised on the BBC. I kind of agreed with her. We watched American news, though.
Local television news, on both radio and television, is so appalling. Makes print journalism look like the greatest stuff ever written.
If you look up the definition of news in the dictionary, it isn't what you watch on TV.
