  I know why Channel 10 is doing better, because of stories like this done by Channel 6 (see below). Its not the substance that the complaint is about, but the misspelling of "councilors".  I brought it to their attention and they quickly corrected it, but the point is if you read their stories or listen to their reporters, they very often misspell or misuse words. In a prior story, a reporter used the word "whizzing" out of traffic..."whizzing"? Are you kidding me...speeding out of traffic? I highly doubt that was meant. What was meant was "weaving" out of traffic.  These mistakes most often occur with the morning reporters. This could be a factor that plays in as to why Channel 10 is doing better in the morning broadcast. Channel 6 bagged some very good reporters last year and in effect brought in unseasoned reporters who are completely lackluster in their profession and are reflecting this onto their broadcast.

  "Grief councilors are on hand for students at Diman Regional Vocational Technical High School in Fall River after the sudden death of a teacher Monday night.

  Stephen Blanchette, a 21-year veteran at Diman, apparently took his own life on Monday night.

  Nearly 1,400 students were delayed going to school Tuesday and a flag is flying at half-staff in front of the school as students and faculty remember Blanchette.

  Blanchette was also a student at Diman years ago.  He followed his love for kids and became a machine shop teacher and eventually a department head, where he taught 120 students everyday.

  School superintendent Rogerio Ramos says Blanchette wasn't just a co-worker, but a friend to everyone.  Ramos says despite this unfortunate incident, Blanchette was an inspiration and he hopes people will remember him as just that.

  ABC 6 reporter Malini Basu has more..."

  "A Central Falls family is trying to make sense of their 2 1/2 month old daughter."

  This is a line directly from ABC6s' website on a story about a couple and their daugher that passed away...what is the family to trying to make sense of? I think they left out the word "death"....idiots.
