Local newscasts skip second vote

Just caught the top of the 11 p.m. news on Channels 4, 5 and 7. I was flipping around, so it’s possible that I missed it. But it didn’t appear that any of the three reported on the second, anti-casino vote. Shoddy.

On the other hand, kudos to Channel 5 for doing a sidebar on people who couldn’t make it to the town meeting today — not just elderly voters, but folks with respiratory problems, people who had to work and parents who couldn’t arrange for child care (kids weren’t allowed).

This is democracy? No. It isn’t.
