Hey everyone, I understand that "if it bleeds, it leads" and all that; but christ on a crutch! WIVB has a "Continuing Coverage" section, like it's the War in Afghanistan (Which is still ongoing), or a presidential election or something.
This is a pretty simple case: Drunk driver kills skateboarder, standing trial.
Anyone else would be in bars already. The only difference I can see: Coristanti is wealthy, and a "respected doctor". Wait, this sounds like another case already: Matthew Barnaby. Maybe Corisanti should have taken a queue here: Admit to drunk driving.
But, the judicial system isn't what I'm ticked off about (It's screwed up, trust me), it's the immense news coverage of the event. WIVB has a constant news banner running since it happened. WKBW has at least two stories on the front page of their site daily. The Buffalo News has at least one front page article daily. WGRZ also has their "Corisanti Coverage" banner on their site.
How about covering news that matters?
You guys know we still have soldiers in the Middle East, right?
You do realize we are still facing record unemployment, right?
You do realize the housing market is still on shaky ground, right?
You understand Paladino is laughing his way to the Bank of Smaller Government (Funded by Government Checks), right?
You have gotten your tip-offs about the under aged sex trafficking here in WNY, right?
You do know we now have over 50% of Americans in favor of legalizing Marijuana (For the first time since prohibition started)?
You guys know that our prison system is currently in shambles, right?
Come on WNY News Outlets! Cover the real stories, not the ones that just generate page views!
