Close, but I really think you're looking at the picture of Rachel Madcow..
But I have been wrong before ;-)
Good one!
I predict they will predict some states and then be forced to backtrack them later.
Dude, check fire. We’re in the same foxhole. I just didn’t pull the pin on the /sarc grenade.
I wonder if a class-action lawsuit would work - on behalf of the American people. In the olden days, journalism was about “the people’s right to know.” It was “who, what, where, when, and how.” The so-called “journalists” are not providing facts, they are providing opinions. Therefore, they are guilty of false advertising when they present themselves as “journalists” and not “editors” (as in broadcasting editorial opinions instead of actual news). That used to be a real no-no, at least at local news stations. I know now that Walter Cronkite was guilty of very biased reporting, so “journalists” have not always practiced what they preached in “journalism” school.
The problems with local news are originating with the station management, not the anchors and reporters. The producers usually have the final say as to what gets on the air, because they are following the guidelines of the station management. If a reporter wants to report on a story, it will never see airtime if the producer will not put it in the line-up. In addition, if the assignment editor assigns another story to the reporter, the reporter will not have the time, resources, camera-person or editor available to get the story produced. There is also the problem of the local station management usually following the directives of the network management. The local affiliates are not always autonomous, although they would argue that they are.
Focusing on the networks will probably get more traction and more results.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.
I know that we are in the same foxhole, and I was tossing plenty of ammo to you to use as you see fit.
‘Tis all good...
