Election Coverage on the Cheap

The audio on this clip from Nexstar’s KTLA is not very good, but it is still a bit head-shaking for a station in Los Angeles.

KTLA basically used the AP wire for their election information and viewers noticed.

It's one thing to cite or reference another #news agency, but to base your entire night's coverage on Associated Press reporting -- and constantly tell viewers you're just poaching wire info -- is pretty bad. This isn't Craptown, Arkansas, it's Los Angeles.#KTLA #NewsUpdates pic.twitter.com/AYs7OK9QTD
