While watching the local CBS news at 5:00, it was very apparent that it was not entertaining. There was no comedy and no jokes, but why should there be? People do not watch the local news to be entertained, they watch it to be informed. The problem is unless you actually want to watch the news, there is no incentive for you to do so. It is dry, straight to the point news thats only purpose is to inform the public, not entertain them.
There were a few political stories, but not as many as the general news stories. The political stories were sprinkled throughout the broadcast. I feel that the news can only have so much political news, because only so much happens in a day that the public needs to know about. If people want to hear solely political news, then they should watch CNN or MSNBC. I feel that the local news should be general news about a variety of topics.
