WDRB aka The Local Crime Beat

WDRB doesn't report a diversity of stories on television. Crime makes up almost half of the television stories. While I think it is important for people to know about the crimes happening around the area I think WDRB should report more stories regarding politics and international news. When the big senate race was near, there were hardly any political stories regarding the senate race. Also matters of international news such as Ebola or ISIS were hardly reported on WDRB. Once Ebola cases were found in the U.S I think that WDRB could have done more than two stories. While I don't think Ebola will be huge epidemic here in the United States, some of the more paranoid people would want to know this stuff. I think that WDRB should have at least  reported on Ebola recoveries so it would stop all the paranoia over Ebola. You literally cannot cough at school anymore without people thinking you have Ebola. Also, stories of the Islamic States are hardly reported on WDRB. Yes, I understand that local tv news stations will report more local news. However, you have to consider the magnitude of the story when reporting on something. I would rather want more information on Ebola and ISIS than whether or not a house is up for sale
