When the local news comes on .. I get frustrated (guess what is on). Where you live directly effects the news and how they report it.
When I loved in Florida I noticed the news was up beat and perky. The news personalities in Florida were glamorous, young, and beautiful. It think it because Florida was a tourist state and happy place. They wanted the tourist and retirees to feel safe. Did crime happen of course it did?
Now that I live in Philadelphia. I notice the news is much more serious and depressing they say it all the good, bad and crime ridden. The news anchors are older more seasoned less fluff. I like the experience reports but it depressing to watch.
They spend a lot of time on the weather in Philly. Florida weather was always sunny. They also feel like Philadelphia Meteorologist can predict the weather for the entire winter. Some weather guy in a bow tie is clairvoyant and can tell you in October what February will look like.
I feel the smoke and mirrors from them reporting about crime. Really other markets have moved on. I am sorry that crime happens murder of a some innocent person. Do they need me to help? I am not a police office they normally are not asking for tips. So I don’t get it there is so much good in this City but they allow the negativity to come from our news..
Even my mother say New York news is not this depressing.. Apparently New York has no crime anymore.. since the local news does not report of any. I wish Philadelphia would get a marketing perception make over NYC did it.
