I hear ya Crystal!
A few weeks ago.. I was asking myself the very same thinig…
Since Dallas is such a big TV market.. there are countless murders/crime stories every day.. so it’s like you have to weed through them to find which one is more teasable or interesting.. as sad as that sounds…
BUT.. there was a shooting (NOT MURDER mind you) near our house.. which is by Highland Park (one of the wealthiest neighborhood in Texas)… and EVERY local station covered it.. haha… JUST BECAUSE.. it was in that neighborhood…
It’s like.. are there no better stories to cover in market # 5? a random shooting… c’mon!

GIRRRL, those reporters just say “the murder happened in a quiet neighborhood” because they’re just trying to fill the ridiculous amount of air time created by producers! And really, doesn’t it sound better in the headline to say: “Murder in a Quiet Neighborhood!” Don’t you know the tricks by now!? They don’t sell news without fear! You have been around this news block…you know how this works! You wrote the headlines too…not too long ago! Isn’t that why you left? Of course smart people know murders happen every where! The news isn’t written for the smart ones! And the most interesting murders happen in the wealthiest neighborhoods where it’s all about sex, drugs and major MONEY! Don’t be upset…just know that it’s all a big game…don’t watch or read the paper if it gets you this upset. Listen to NPR instead….and enjoy life.

You know the saying……Don’t judge a book by it’s cover? Don’t judge a neighborhood by it’s money.
