My favorite is the weather lead-in story for every station in town any time there's precipitation. If it comes down hard, you better have someone standing right in the middle of the rain/snow. These networks love for nothing more than snow/rain between 8-10pm, interrupt the show in progress, and trot out their live doppler radar map 258,000 showing the direction the rain is headed, as if we don't have a pretty good idea what general direction it's going already.

A "meteorologist" is the modern-day snake oil salesman. It's prettty sad that for all our technology, The Farmer's Almanac is just as accurate as the local weatherman.

When was the last time a sitting member of Congress was shot? If you dont find this "newsworthy" there are many other outlets for you to choose.

Of course the shooting was newsworthy. I just don't think it's breaking news when they put her in an ambulance and take her to the airport.

I think the newsworthy part is that she actually left the hospital for a rehab clinic.
