Film Director: `Make Room For Disabled News Anchors'

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- If a New York-based group of disabled reporters has its way, the next CNN anchor might be mentally handicapped.

How's Your News?, a five-person team of handicapped reporters, is out to prove its reporters can do just as well as Peter Jennings or Connie Chung.

To spread the word, they've made a feature-length film featuring their unique interviewing style -- which consists of approaching random people on the street and asking questions like "How's your hamburger?" or "How's your sports?'

Director Arthur Bradford followed the "How's Your News?" team while they traveled across the U.S. interviewing everyone they met.

Bradford says he's gotten lots of criticism from folks who say he's exploiting the team for laughs, but claims he's doing it because he knows the would-be anchors love what they do.

"How's Your News?" hits independent theaters this summer.

"If a New York-based group of disabled reporters has its way, the next CNN anchor might be mentally handicapped."

I thought all the CNN new anchors already were mentally handicapped.

But how are we supposed to tell the mentally handicapped reporters from the ones they have now?

Hasn't this already been done? I mean the ones I used to watch were "Mentally Handicapped."

"What goes around comes around" So replace them all!

All the news anchors in Los Angeles are mentally disabled.

As a follow-up, the Stuttering Newscast will be expanded from 30 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes.

L.A. news anchors....the hands down winner is local dolt Paul Moyer........he who, during the OJ Bronco chase, caught a closeup of Al Cowlings behind the wheel and was able to knowingly advise we viewers that "We can now confirm that there is at least ONE person in that Bronco!"....I tell ya, Freepers, you could shine a flashlight behind his ears and play hand puppets!
