Today, I watched the nightly news from channel 12 and channel 6 news stations. They both had an emphasis on local news, and both reported on almost all of the same stories. The lead story and story the spent the most time on, was a late breaking story of a house fire in Pittsburgh. Most of the emphasive seemed to be on negative stories, like the story on the house fire, and the was a story of an armed robbery. These stories didn't seem to shape or distort the viewers perception, but it does seem to send out a negative message because of the negative connotation of most of the stories. The only bright spot was when they switched their coverage over to sports and reported about the penguins recent success.
