I'm not even talking about local news, per se. I don't even subscribe to my local paper (Yes, the Globe.) But when we see policies and legislation enacted at the state and federal level, we can translate that down what it means and how that will affect us at whatever our local situation may be. And this in turn affects how we vote. This is totally missing from foreign coverage, because they just don't have that knowledge.
