In all Honesty, Thousands of Murders never get outside the local news.
To be blunt, I wish more stories NEVER went outside the local jurisdiction. The reasons they do are few ( Ratings or Politics ) being the two biggest reasons. Lets just look at Amber vs Johnny, no reason on the planet for a private matter to be televised, Judge should never allowed it, its all about ratings for them all. How about The Floyd case, had it not been covered any more than local we would not have had the riots of 2020. I can go on as I am sure most people can.
We really do not need to be slammed with bad news all the time, in fact it is very unhealthy to be. Imagine if the news only reported locally your surrounding counties, a little state news and a little federal and world. That is how it use to be. Then again I am old enough to remember when there was a lot of good news reported as well. Cannot tell you the last time I was able to watch a newscast where there was more “Good and public fun events” reported on than doom and gloom. Why I stopped watching the news. 99.99% of it has not barring or effect on my life and only drags you down seeing the bad constantly.
