It will be interesting to know HOW these "journalists" were told to do their job. Just knowing the ages of these two, my GUESS is that they are raging liberals, pissed off because they were told to BALANCE their news.
We'll see.
Its a culmination of ongoing occurrences that took place the last several years and basically involved upper management practices that we both strongly disagreed with, she explained. Its a little complicated, but we were expected to do somewhat unbalanced news, politically, in general.
and they are probably having an affair together too
Well genius, if neither are married, that would called DATING!
Your local radio news or television news or newspaper news provider simply grabs the Associated Press feed and regurgitates it via the radio waves, television waves, or printed page. Your local news outlet does not do its own research and reporting on national or international news.
If your local news outlet does not carry the AP falsifications, it carries the ABC, or NBC, or CBS falsifications (radio and TV), or Reuters or one of a small handful of others.

The laughable thing is they’ll be treated like martyrs in the “journalism” world.
I realize there is a play on words in the headline, but we all should know that the correct term is “anchors aweigh.”
(might come up at dinner tomorrow)
If we should all know it, what were you compelled to point it out?
Because as a society there are so many things we don't know that we should and that everyone used to know. Cultural literacy is shockingly low.
Shouldn’t that headline read ‘Anchors aweigh’?
Actually it's a very good example of a headline pun.
