The Shepard Smith (6 PM Central) format comes on a bit strong but that's the "wave of the future" for TV news according to the consultants.

* A consultant is like a guy who knows all the sexual positions of the Kama Sutra but doesn't know any women.

You can look for your local TV station newscasts to start looking more and more like that fast-paced (keep their attention) presentation. It is based on the attention span (or lack thereof) of the average viewer and how to deliver news to him in a way that he will still "get it".

For some, this may look like National Enquirer whereas in reality it more resembles radio when it made the switch from big band music to rock 'nb' roll format.

A critic is like a eunuch in a harem. He's right there every night. He sees it done every night. He sees how it should be done every night. But he cannot do it himself.
