What was with KK?
Why did KKTV bury the Zacarias Moussaoui story tonight? It ran the story second in its 4:30 newscast and like fifth in the 5:30. I get that the water main break was kind of a interesting visual, but I thought the sentencing was the clearly the story of the day -- even without the local connection (he's probably going to SuperMax down south, which I think they missed). KRDO got it right. Anyone see how KOAA played it?
UPDATE: Second story again at 10 on 11, although they did emphasize the Florence angle. KRDO led with it -- I missed KOAA again.
Just to spread the criticism around, KRDO kept asking people in Florence if they would feel less safe with Moussaoui in the prison. Escape is not the first thing that comes to my mind: He's a deranged fanatic, not MacGuyver. There's a reason they didn't call it AdequateMax. If you want to play the fear game, why not ask about terrorist reprisals? Personally, I'd have asked locals what they thought about him dodging the death penalty.

Moussaoui is just another ruffian! If they don't feel safe now, they never will!
The heck with those in the facility! What about all the wackjobs still running around free. That's who the people of Florence and everywhere else should fear. What a stupid question for a TV news person to ask. Oh I forgot, most of them are.
