Sound Off – Rate this year's primary coverage?


It’s coming down the wire…

With that said, was the local media fair and balanced in its coverage when it came to Sen. Barack Obama and or Sen. Hillary Clinton in the Pennsylvania Primary?

Or did it find itself getting caught up in the “gotcha” issues and not the important ones similar to last week’s debate with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and Charlie Gibson?

How would you rate the election coverage this year? If you had the chance, what would you have changed?

Sound off…

Local primary coverage was decent at best compared to national entities. It seems the national media – not local – is responsible for blowing up the "gotcha" issues instead of the real ones such as economy, War in Iraq, race, etc.

However, I do think the local media could have played a much bigger role in calling out national media outlets in their efforts of spotlighting irrelevant topics.

A voice of "reasoning" has to come from somewhere - no matter if it comes from the bottom up.
