Evening local news

What’ news on the local evening news?
Rapes and murders, but not a word about the arts.
Pedophiles and crooks, but not a word about theater or ballet.
Child abuse and corruption, but not a word about poetry.
The wins and losses of a mediocre football team, but not a word about the symphony that always gets it right.
Interviews of high school athletes, but not one face of a visual artist.
The squabbles in government, but not one word about the arts organizations making a difference in people’s lives.
Time for mindless chit-chat, but not a word about the arts.
