It seems I'm not the only one who thinks so

Well, this example is exceptionally lame:

I've gotten the opportunity to watch some of southern New England's finest local news and it's merely reinforced my perception that just about all local news is garbage. Last night, for example, the local newsreader -- I'd be extremely hesitant to call her a "journalist" -- shared the fact that one of the London bombers had at one time been investigated by "Britain's intelligence service, M-Fifteeen." Yep, that's right, she'd never read a single Tom Clancy novel, otherwise she'd know it was MI5.

I've had to start relying on other people's experience for this category since I never watch local news if I can help it.
