It is PATHETIC of them to have such blatant slippages exposed. They are most likely much weaker than they are made out to be. Don't fall for power/fear propaganda being promoted by them. It has no basis in reality unless we let it. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 32271317 United States 02/25/2013 07:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Not so much "scripted" as a reflection of the cost cuts in the local media. Most local affiliates run a bare-bones operation any more, using just the minimum number of people needed to keep the operation on the air. So they don't have real reporters or writers anymore. They are obviously all subscribing to some sort of national news service which is providing all of them with the same story text and B-roll footage. Or they could just all be reading an AP or Reuters story. Not so much a conspiracy as an illustration on how the news is now a profit center, and the best way to make a profit is to reduce the costs to nothing. And if you have a Gannett-owned local newspaper, you've probably seen it with more and more USA Today-produced material being inserted. I first woke up to this in NASCAR back in the '80s. I used to get some fan-related weekly newspapers- regional and national - and used to read all of these columnists who interviewed the drivers and got lots of great quotes. Imagine my surprise when I got my first pit pass and got access to the media center. On tables were stacks and stacks of material and quotes from the drivers provided by the teams and the sponsors. The writers would just gather them all up, then wrote their stories as if THEY had tracked down the drivers and conducted the interviews themselves! And I suspect a lot of what passes for "news" these days is the same thing. Lifting provided copy and video footage and passing it off as their own. |
