So, you're in charge at a regional news programme yesterday and you learn that a student from your local area may have been caught up in the Virginia Tech shooting. You dispatch a film crew to his family home but it later turns out he was nowhere near what was going on. Do you a) scrap the item and use the time to tell viewers some real news or b) show it anyway as the top item on the bulletin?
Needless to say Look North chose b last night. Journalism it ain't. Having said that, VFTN can't even bring himself to watch Calendar these days with its diet of sick kids and animal features and barely a news story in sight.
