People essentially like local news better than network news.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We sort of read two or three big newspapers but we don't get the flavor of the local events, the local news as much.
I've always been a firm believer in local news, because it's an opportunity to connect with the community where you live.
Some of those stories in local newspapers are just as dull and boring as the stories that I get from on-line services, which are basically sort of straight news.
Don't overstate Fox News. It's still much smaller than the least of the network niches.
If you take the more general role of going to local stations around the country in Montana or South Carolina or wherever, and start in the local news, it's a lot more difficult to get to the stories that you want to really cover.
Television news is now entertainment, and the stories are being written by the people that have a special interest in them.
Some news managers have been slow to grasp that good television news is always substance over form.
The truth is I don't watch a lot of news, except for when I'm here at the office watching Fox News. I get my news online primarily when I'm not watching the channel.
I think it's really good that you have great competition among news networks, and for that matter all the networks in general. It's bringing more and more people in to watching the news.
Local television news, on both radio and television, is so appalling. Makes print journalism look like the greatest stuff ever written.
