Does your local Fox affiliate news cover American Idol as if it is a legitimate news story every night?
Byi live in Boston and the local affiliate here has a segment on the nightly news every night updating us about who is doing well and what is going on and it makes me sick. Does your local Fox news do the same and if so doesnt it piss you off?

Sure, why not. CNN covers the democratic primary process as if it were legitimate.

I know where you’re coming from…Although I’m a big Idol fan, since AI is the “cash cow” or in other words the most popular show on the tube, you can bet there is a lot of arm-twisting to promote the show as much as possible…esp. if a contestant is still in the running from that area.

Yes, right after the advertisements for the double wides.

Our local affiliate has three hours of local news on every morning and they do a big thing about it there, with an interview of the most recent performer to be booted. I don’t make a big deal of it but it sure has nothing to do with what’s going on in our town.
