Ch2 woulden't know an exclusive story if it came up and bit them on th ASS. The one thing I can say is that they really think that all viewers are stupid and cannot figure out that they are being scammed. |

it is better to lead with things like the westchester kid graduation thing and the CBS producer who got slapped by Burt Reynolds because they are #3 and at least it is something that isn't seen elsewhere
also, it is LOCAL - a lot of stations are using national stories as leads & high up even when they are of marginal importance and not their primary mission as a local station
i don't know about thinking viewers are stupid... things like "eat at your own risk" and "shame on you" are a little simplistic, but are good TV & at least make some difference.
i would like to see more solid investigative work but at least they are trying to get into this area. they are surely not worse than the other stations. they do some of the generic "news you can use" type stuff that I don't much care for, but it pulls people in the tent and WABC is the major offender in this category
