KMBZ MORNING NEWS HOMELESS REPORT


Stories regarding the homeless during the holidays are so predictable that Vegas wouldn't dare set odds on it. This morning while getting ready I heard a promo on the radio regarding a "new" class of homeless people hitting the local shelters. I have no idea what it is that this means but what I got out of the promo was that this was an elite crop of homeless people.

Journalism in this town has gotten awfully lazy if this is the type of mindless predictable reporting that we can count on. Instead of exploiting the poor homeless bastards at the shelters for ratings how about you get off your lazy ass and investigate the local crime problem. Interview some drug dealers, people that live in the projects occupied by gang bangers etc..
