I refuse to watch local news and take most of their "stories" with a grain of salt. Granted, all news organizations create stories so they have something to report on. However, I find the local media consistantly hunting for some conspiracy. Their exaggeration tactics (for instance, when they show a quick preview commerical to make you watch at 11) further decrease their credibility. I suppose this is a conversation for another time, though.
