And so once again a fecal matter load of stations use the same VNR (or network clip feed feature) to fill time on their newscasts, all using the same intro as written by the PR people and someone sends the clips to Conan's people, who then put up yet another montage of various vapid anchors saying the same words over and over and over:
http://teamcoco.com/video/newscasters-agree-02-13-14 How many times is Conan going to have to do this bit before stations stop this practice? Do the stations assume (with some assurance, I would say) that the audience for what seems to be mostly morning or midday newscasts are not watching TBS at 11 p.m.? On the other hand, I would hope that this will do more to end the practice of using VNRs instead of real journalism (or at least running them with alteration) than Amy Goodman droning on about them with her media/corporate watchdog guest for 20 minutes every few months. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
