HUH?
That was a story on this evening news.
But I thought none of us were allowed any illegal guns, but I could be wrong, it’s not like I haven’t been wrong before is it?
Gosh, our local news teams are getting our local news on the air in rapid time spans, but Geez they usually get the job done with not too many gaffes… Oh what the heck they make a bunch of them, and that’s why it’s quite entertaining because they don’t do just hard news that’s informative, but stuff that makes you laugh, perhaps at inappropriate times, but funny just the same.
Most of us though are in our living rooms, kitchens or dens and who knows besides us when we let out those belly laughs, huh?
Living a distance from a major city we have many youngsters getting their training here right out of college I presume, since most look as it they have not been weaned yet… and more than likely twenty-one or twenty two…
Cute and perky are not insulting or sexist anymore, I believe that’s what these outer limits station affiliates look for in their hiring practices. Why, you ask?
And I will tell you my opinion, but it’s just between us OK? (Wink, wink) It’s because there are way too many for them to be clones or just coincidences I think, really!
The one though that made me guffaw this evening was actually a seasoned anchor of perhaps thirty five or more. Well, I suppose he’s entitled too, exhaustion from all the information gathering to make it on air on time, I am more than sure, at his mature age too, tisk, tisk…
All I can say is keep em’coming! They are a nice respite from reality or I should say a different dimension of reality, with our nightly news so crazy, local and national and world taking us in all directions, and they are rather welcomed distractions from it all! LOL!
Producers for these faraway from major network cities, smaller markets, are not too organized since we have had nights/days and mornings where the film to go along with the story is not in the right time slot or outright not there or the wrong one is installed for a different story altogether. It must be hard to be the director of the nightly, afternoon or even the morning news here, but never dull!
Not the stories per se, not that they are not, but the presentations could be considered rather random or repetitive, since they seem to stretch hour and half time slots with every half hour repeats unless there is of course breaking news! Hubby does still believes that many are just ‘talking heads’ and read off of the monitors, idiot boxes I think at one time they were called, but I will leave that one alone for now. And that others actually write the newsworthy items and that they do not compile the stories themselves our on-air locals he thinks.
That can’t be!
Why, you ask?
I know you didn’t because I can’t hear you, but I will take your silence as a yes.
Yes, on the why, huh?
Never mind…
Because in order to have someone else writing the stories they would have to be paying additional professionals and I don’t believe they have that kind of money in their budgets, but I could be wrong, as I have said before that I have been wrong before. Supposedly these local upper management get paid anywhere from 60K to 100K on the air, not too shabby, almost as good as doctors here, nah they get twice that. And besides I’m not paying their salaries, it’s not like they could get cancelled going over budget, is it?
A disclaimer by this blogger/writer and I use those terms loosely: I did grow up back in the fifties, sixties, seventies and even lived there well into the nineteen eighties and where we received our TV news was out of New York and Philadelphia, and I do have to admit that they too had plenty of mistakes nightly or weekly, but I think it is so charming to think that even with all this techno stuff highly capable of polishing their abilities to have access to everything at a flick of this or a click of that the times are not that much different when we weren’t quite so mechanized…something to think about… that’s all I am saying.
As the expression goes the more things change the more they stay the same…
On that noteworthy observation allow me to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and to ask you kindly to count all your blessings and share those overages and we will too!
And a special prayer goes out to a Facebook friend of all ours who not only has MS, Multiple Sclerosis, but fortunately she is in remission from her Leukemia. Although, now is having a rough time with her current meds, but if they work it will be great and be more beneficial, so everyone please put her in your prayers! I never asked for anything like this before but she is a heck of nice gal and a really good FB friend.
And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
Speaking My Mind is about: Tobi, who is a middle aged, no, oh all right a slightly over the hill woman with all the imperfections that go with that, and this concerns her daily life's perceptions and experiences.
