That was a newsbrief, basically. A filler piece that came from a wire service. So it wasn't actually their news to post on their Web site. You might have been likely to find it in a subsection, if they have one, called "From wire reports," but TV news stations often don't post those types of newsbriefs at all. If they have a sister newspaper or larger network affiliate(most are owned now by media companies and are part of a larger news group), it'll be more likely to posted at the bigger news sites and the ones associated with print news. Often if they don't have a newsbriefs section where they can print news from other sources than their own news teams, they won't post those pulled-from-wire-service stories.
This wasnā??t a little blurbā?¦ this was a well produced segment, showing guys in lab coats and pot in petri dishes. They also boast that ā??You can find this and every news item at our website.ā? I was about to respond to you last night, but instead decided to do a little experiment first. I watched last nights program and wrote down a short summery of every news story. This morning I used their search feature, typed keywords in from each item and found every story reported on last night. I guess none of the news last night came from a ā??wire service.ā?

But if what you say is true, you bring up an interesting point. You saw/heard about this study 8 times, and read about it 4 times. If thatā??s the case then many on this site must have heard/read about it. If local news stations from coast to coast have saturated the public with this interesting MJ study, why is this the first and only thread even mentioning the study? Youā??d think this would be big news on a forum thatā??s been recently revamped into more a med forum. Perhaps I joined the wrong message board. Does anyone know where I can find Cannabis Message Boards, dealing with Medical Marijuana, Cannabis Club, Dispensary, and News?
