whaaat?! thousands of blue tags. thousands of low prices. my stop & shop. >> this is an editorial by the ecb be chama president and general manager bill fine. mr. and momentous election year, certain buzzwords and phrases have dwarfed substantive issues. "the wall," "deplorables," "sex scandals", "emails." we would also add another -- "the media." many partisans, from both major parties, frequently accuse "the media" of being biased against them or their ideology. donald trump has allegedly used and been abused by the so called "media" -- it all depends on what lens you view from. indeed, a new gallup poll finds that confidence in the media has fallen to a four decade low. we won't quibble with the

respondents, and much of the public in general, share a common perception that "the media" is a single, monolithic entity. at the risk of sounding defensive, what really vexes us is figuring out exactly who this mysterious "media" actually is. far from any sort of even passive cooperation or collusion, all media outlets exist in a fierce, 24/7 competition, vying for every viewer, reader, listener and visitor. there is simply no one-size-fits all group that is, "the media." print, broadcast, web, socia media, bloggers, cartoonists: all of them carry credentials. calling all of these outlets "the media" is, as one washington post writer observed, analogous to calling virtually all ocean life "the fish." it is too general a classification to be useful. from distinct media outlets to individual journalists, we can all do better. but with a vast array of media to choose from, it's ultimately up to voters to choose -- follow

their world view or shop widely to find a balanced diet of reporting. >> from boston's news leader, this is wcvb newscenter 5 at 5 :30. reid: breaking news into the investigation of hillary clinton's emails. the wall street journal reports, the fbi is preparing to go through 650,000 emails found on anthony weiner's laptop. that computer was shared with his wife, clinton aide huma abedin. the fbi also knew for weeks about the newly foem give more details about what was found. nichole: also right now, boston police say they had no spread to shoot a knife-wielding man in the south end this morning. the 31-year-old later died. they say the man swung his knife at officers and emergency workers who were trying to help him. the man's mother called 911 to report her emotionally disturbed

are being warned -- brace for delays tomorrow. demolition will pick up on the old tollbooth tonight -- or hopefully the rain coming in will get out of the way. mike: one of the analogies i heard earlier this week was think of a big snowstorm. that is what traffic will be like tomorrow morning. that is way too early to think about a snowstorm. really nice. let me show you what the temperatures look like right now. we still have readings in the 50's. we talked off the afternoon with readings in the 60's. but now, here comes the rain. you see the showers, the downpours. north of the pike, pretty light stuff. this will be with us until midnight or so.

south of providence, this is where the heaviest rains are. reports of lightning and thunder . there may be rumbles along the south coast of this pushes through. by midnight tonight, a lot of this is pushing offshore and out of here. that is why i say tomorrow morning's commute should have no weather problems, but there will be gray skies. we will talk about when these guys get really we will get another shot at warm temperatures in a few moments. reid: mike, thanks. a bay state congressman has voted yes to legalizing marijuana. but on today's on the record worcester democrat jim mcgovern says he's not asking people to follow him. >> i think we could better regulate the marijuana usage. i am troubled by the disparity in our criminal justice system.

inside we found what appeared to be mold in the shower, and expired elevator inspection, out of order washing machines, and signs everywhere of peeling paint and maintenance overdue. >> i have a bit of a problem. karen: this saved navy vet bob guerrero from a homeless shelter, but brought problems of its own. the black marks underneath his bed, a bedbug recently brought under control. >> i risk having bedbugs wherever i go. karen: the state auditor issuing a scathing new report, detailing unsafe and unsanitary living conditions. >> is inexcusable. karen: they found evidence of leaking water or sewage directly over a food preparation area.

it simply should not be allowed to exist. karen: half of the rooms inspected were unsafe or unsanitary including dangerous water, overloaded electrical outlets, and this picture appears to show human waste. >> disgusting. and it looks like it has been there for some time as well, which is the most disheartening aspect of it. a from 2015 through 2016. the chelsea soldiers home said that the unsafe and unsanitary conditions have been repaired. they also told the auditor they are increasing inspections of veterans rooms and staff will be reminded of how to report maintenance issues. the state supplied us with these pictures, showing us items from the audit have been fixed.
