WLKY's crime addiction

A week and a half ago, on Thursday, WLKY aired their daily 6:00 news- or so it would seem.  The first quarter of the show was completely taken up by crime stories. Here's the issue with this- they were largely irrelevant. Not only this, but it feels like they provided little to no useful information to the watcher. Looking back at my notes, I cannot remember any of these specific stories, even though each was given about a minute's runtime. These stories were boring, and WLKY chose to air them without context or related data, making their impact miniscule. This does not abide by the yardstick of relevance, because so much time was taken up by stories that affected so few people, without any connection to a trend or important issue. The stories were bland and easily forgettable. Now that is a crime for you.
