I just voted it down myself but I'm sure it will be voted up again.
The unexamined fallacy that I saw in the post was the idea that TV stations engage in hard hitting news at the level of the local newspaper reporting. Internet outlets can publicize local stories if the original stories exist. The original article's point remains: without newspaper digging there would be no local story, especially no credible local story.
The problem would be worst in smaller cities like Baltimore.
