“There will never not be a need for professional people to take complicated information, put it into a form that viewers and readers will need to know and want to understand,” he said.

Patronizing SOB.

I believe he is correct. People in general have neither the time nor the training to collect raw information, determine what pieces of information are related and which aren’t, and the ability to do that and put the results in words the average person can understand is still needed today.

News isn’t going out of style because nobody needs it, it’s because they have lost credibility.

There has been a huge void in my life since Tom Brokaw left the airwaves, because I don't have anybody to process complicated information and tell me what I need to know and what I want to understand...

He also used to cut my meat for me and pre-chew my food...
