Have you ever, in your life, watched the news, following a news teaser, and actually felt satisfied, informed and newly knowleadgeable about the news report's subject?

Usually in the day, you’ll hear a 10 second tease for the news later on in the night. Oftentimes it sounds like a very interesting report they have planned. Then whenever one actually watches said report…. one is usually disapointed and shallow feeling. The report one looked forward to watching is usually at the end of the news, and not much longer than the original teaser.

I gave up watching local news 15 years ago because of this, and have never gone back.

I’m wondering, has anyone ever actually felt satisfied after watching a news report that they tuned in for, on the local news?

And if not, why do you fall for it over and over again, like Charlie, Lucy and the football?

I’m talking about Local News here, and not high quality shows such as 60 Minutes, Frontline, or Now
