- The first case that I noticed was a armed bank robbery in the mid 1990's in which shots were fired, the suspects fleed on foot broke into a home with the police chasing and had a standoff for several hours. What coverage did it get? A little blurb by the traffic reporter on channel 6.
- Another case happened summer of 2005. Shots were fired on Lincoln Avenue near 33rd street. Lincoln Avenue was shut down for several hours while the police investigated. The coverage was so underwhelming it was NOT reported! Even though the local paper has a facility nearby.
- On one occasion I watched 1/2 inch hail fall from my front window for about 10 minites. During this I turned on the local news channels to find out what was going on and was amazed with what the weatherman was reporting. Accrording to them what I was witnessing was not happening
- Unfortunately, it took a child dying near the intersection of 33rd and Lincoln to get any reporters to show up on this side of town.
If any of these incidents happen on the north side,Washington County,Ozaukee County,Racine County,Etc... these would be reported as front page news and lead the television news.
