WCVB Channel 5: Going Tabloid

Looks like WCVB Channel 5 news is going tabloid. Channel 5 post news updates and they all lean toward tabloid news. Example: yesterday channel 5WCVB posted a news item about two boys being raped on a school bus by another school wrestler.
WCVB – TV Channel 5 made it seem that this was a local news story. One had to go well into the body of the story to find out that this horrendous news story did not take place within Channel 5's viewing area but in some small town in Oklahoma. Basically WCVD channel 5 purposely deceived
it's viewers to think it was a local news story.
This is pure sensationalism from the once premier Cadillac station of New England which has apparently devolved into a "If it bleeds it leads" station like Ansin's WHDH Channel 7 or Fox 25.
WCVB Channel 5 has lost its way and its class.
