Local News Reporting Sucks, Part I

From KCTV-5's website today: 'Hamburglar' strikes at Maine McDonald's. AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) - "A real-life Hamburglar has struck at a Maine McDonald's. Police say a young man, seemingly inspired by the pattie purloining character once featured in McDonald's advertising campaigns, ran between a car and the takeout window at the Augusta restaurant Sunday night as an employee handed a bag of food to a driver." It goes on from there. (Link at bottom). Uh, Channel 5 "News"? How is this pertinent to the Kansas City metropolitan area? Why would you--did you waste your time on this? I hope they didn't also have a segment on any broadcast on TV on it, too, but I assume they did. I guess they think it's cute or something? When there are local stories that need reporting, why do they waste their--and our--time with these inane things? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
