that implied hard news has to be dry and bland... I'd just like to see news programing free of know-nothing pundits, heavy on fact-checked information with an emphasis on being thorough instead of merely being first... the role of a journalist used to be to take what is newsworthy and make it entertain... now the role of a journalist is to take something entertaining and attempt to make it appear newsworthy... I prefer the old ways -- Kevin M. (RPCV) -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People! You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TV or Not TV" group.
