No. Local news is free over the air. Thus, it is paid for by advertising. Thus, you (the watcher) are the product. Hence, it is low quality. Local news is interested in producing as much clickbait emotional content as possible to drive up viewership. See: CNN, Fox News, MSNBC. All are "free" and terrible for depth of their reporting.
