DB and I are having a great exchange of emails about it, in vastly different time zones. I'm up in the middle of the night enjoying two days of not working, he's looking at bedtime, I've gotta post this...I must I must.
The local TV news. So many years ago.....The first time I got sent on a work traveling work assignment, it was to southwest Michigan. I was so used to watching the TV news broadcast out of Charlotte, it would be almost thrilling to see the broadcast from Chicago. BIG city coverage. Let's see how THEY do it!
Well, there they were, the Chicago anchors. Danged if they didn't look the same as the Charlotte folks. Clones. Uncanny. Makeup and overdone hair, some teasers and then lots of commercials, and there will be more at eleven O'clock. Yeah, more of the same.
So DB sends me a video grab from Portland TV station KGW. An update on the lost plane. And there's the guy at the desk with makeup who switches over to the guy standing in front of the Portland airport with gooped hair and makeup. What better place to stand in front of before you switch over to a network-prepared video about the plane situation?
I mean......they must teach you that stuff in TV news reporting school. You have to stand in front of something to seem like you are an authority. Yep, the local airport is a good place to stand in front of before you switch to the video that conveys the real content about a plane lost in Asia.
"That's a wrap. Pack up all of this stuff. Good job guys. Where are we gonna eat? After we get some gas for the satellite truck..."
