Tell me again why we have local TV news? Today a plane crashed in Milan so the local station sent a reporter to the airport to interview people returning from Milan. They were all American tourists who left long before the crash so they knew less than most people who can't remember if there's an "o" in "Milan" and their insights were not remotely insightful: If the reporter asked random people off the street about a completely invented catastrophe the responses would have been literally the same. Of course this was all done in the afternoon (broad daylight) but the reporter stood outside the airport at 11 PM so he could make a live introduction to a taped piece.
