Subject: Only Getting Half the News in Personalized News

> Hi, gang,

> for my hometown, it was easy, just set it up for "Tacoma."  However, it
> is not so easy for state news.  If I set it up just with "Washington" I

> believe it or not, almost all I get is still about that city back east.

> It seems that I have to set it up for "Washington State."  However,

> Does anyone know how I can get that other half of the news without
> being inundated with tons of news about that city back east?

> Thank you.
