Sam’s Hot Takes S2, #1 - Missing the Mark

This is Sam Watkins’s Hot Takes, Season Two! We’re back with double the sass and double the procrastination, so just strap on in!

In response to Justin’s article, WLKY’s Crime Addiction, I’ve got one simple point… where else does one expect these crime stories to be? Citizens of Louisville need to know when a high-profile local crime has occurred for their own safety, and the medium where these stories are conveyed is local news. While every single story may not be relevant to every single person, these crimes most definitely earn the spot they have on the news due to the impact these crimes have within the local communities they take place in. A local fight may be relevant to the families of everyone involved, the neighborhood it took place it, or really anyone who frequents the setting where the altercation took place. Therefore, to call these stories “bland” and “irrelevant” truly misses the mark.
