Once again my big heart allowed Lizzie to watch Brian Williams and the NBC Nightly News. There was a story about the fires in Los Alamos New Mexico. What we saw was an on the scene reporter with fires raging in the background. Last week NBC and, I presume, hundreds of local and national stations, sent reporters to Iowa for the flood watch. For twenty seconds we viewed the river climbing over banks, tickling the foundations of homes. Three weeks ago the same scenario in Joplin, Missouri with still more reporters and thirty second visuals and sound bites.
So, I ask you, why is it necessary to send these "journalists" around the world to give information that could be delivered by one person in a studio in NYC?
The producers could run the stories then dig up past tapes of floods, tornadoes, fires, bombs exploding and any other calamity known to mankind. I mean, if you've seen one flood you've seen them all and think of the money that could be saved to squander on other nonsense. Besides, the media doesn't hesitate to make up crap of a political nature. Why ruin a good thing.
Sometimes, but not very often, I am so brilliant it's almost scary.
