  1. Thanks... now I’ve got the image of the guy doing the news in the hallway literally outside your apartment...
  2. That’s quite a misread there... I wonder what the expletive count in his head is after that?
  3. Hooray hubbed everything.
  4. He sounds rather burned out...
  5. Boy that’s tough... her dad doesn’t even know it yet...
  6. We all need to remember that objectivity is largely a postwar modern era invention. Journalism Spent most of its first 200 or so years as a partisan exercise and many of the “reporters“ were beholden directly to one or the other side. Heck some newspapers were at one time nearly party Appendages. We are going back to that slowly but surely for whatever it’s worth.
  7. Hopefully so.
  8. I suppose that might be a question for a court. In extraordinary circumstances courts have been very lenient on that sort of thing especially in a public welfare situation. It’s pretty easy to argue that is where we are now. That’s the same reason Freedom of speech and assembly don’t apply in these quarantines. Knowing 100% of exactly who has it would make stopping the spread pretty easy.
  9. In theory if it finds a positive it isn’t a waste of a test. The problem is we don’t have enough tests. Ideally we would be going door to door across the country testing mandatorily.
  10. I’ve always been skeptical that someone like that really believe 100% of what they say... Is she really Actually that much of a conservative that she believes in virus as impeachment ploy Or could she have been faking it because that’s where she was and what that audience wants to hear?
  11. Their studio isn’t big enough to put them at opposite ends of it?
  12. Yes... but where have you been?
  13. It's probably toast...
  14. If they don’t incorporate the world into their reporting or tell David Muir to talk like a normal anchor and not some theater dropout they’ll have a complete package... can we also not do weather with “millions impacted” every time a rain cloud rolls by?
  15. They came from the same school of thought as KTVU and the 5 day forecast I guess...
  16. Soon to follow: News-ish Truth-ish Worth Watching-ish Fish-ish Boring-ish And introducing: Ish-ish I think ABC’s motto must be “an ish in every home and 2 ish’s in every pot!”...
  17. It has a public access quality from what I understand... yikes...
  18. Yes and come say December 1st you can give yourself an “I was there to watch the short lived newscast CBS mainly outsourced” pin because most likely it’ll be gone by then. Georgia isn’t looking too in play yet (saw some polls last week that had Trumps smallest lead at 7 I think over Biden there) but Michigan and Florida are. Is CBS the only O&O operator with such a patchwork of news departments?
  19. Ah Randy Bhirdo and Syma Chowdrey were involved in that if I remember correctly... Syma is now at WXYZ and I think Randy still does traffic at WWJ-AM...
  20. It’s most likely just a political ad ploy... it’s unlikely they’ll start any kind of news department at all...
  21. WKBD last had a real newscast of their own when their news department was shuttered in 2002... then WXYZ ran it as “UPN Action News” until 2004. Nobody around here really counts “First Forecast Mornings” as much of anything and that was on WWJ as I recall...
  22. I’ll second the “This Morning” branding rather than “In The Morning” which sounds like its going to happen tomorrow rather than now... My, Ravi is rather outnumbered on the set tonight isn’t he?
  23. It looks like something you’d use for a bumper promo in the middle of a set of commercials more than a rejoin... quicker and easier than a full blown rejoin I guess.
  24. They are usually there 1-2 hours before air in addition to what you have there... so their days are rather long as is... some of them may enjoy their jobs so much that they don’t mind working a lot. The old saying about finding a job you love and it not really feeling like work....
  25. Yes that’s it, thanks for that, it’s been a while since I’ve run into her basically anywhere, I may not have seen her since last years debacle...
