Yes!! Sometimes there will be a huge disaster in another city, but our local TV news will spend the first four minutes of the newscast telling folks some local coach announced his retirement (or something equally trivial)
The bigger problem is that their motivations are to sell more papers, more advertising, attract more eyeballs, rather than to tell the truth. Anytime I hear, read or see a news story about something I personally am involved in, I marvel at how badly they do the job of informing the public of the truth.

True. But not the fault of the media. It is the public who are more interested in trivia rather than serious news.
