The Kingsport Times-News is especially guilty of putting up addicts on the front page every chance they get. While the drug problems are very real, the papers exaggerate it for click bait.

Have to agree. Local newspapers here sensationalize more than necessary. They often also tell just enough of the story to get people riled up and continuing to visit their sites to participate in the comments section. I can't prove it, but I think they have paid trolls on staff at times when it comes to the comment sections.
