They Call it News.

I don’t know what it’s like in your town, but in Phoenix, Arizona many news casts are a joke! If they were serving it for dinner, I’d say the meatloaf had not enough meat and too much loaf. Instead of hard news, we get two hours of light conversation with a little news sprinkled here and there. We get such stories as a cat being rescued from a tree. Now, this is important to the family to which the cat belongs, but not worthy of news time when there are serious items to report from around the world. The poor grammar is probably an area we could discuss on another day. All this must be part of the “dumbing down” of America I keep hearing about.

If you have ever sat through education courses teachers must take, you'll have some idea as to why they are so poorly prepared. Not all, but many pupils who are home-schooled seem to have an advantage.

BudPundit: You’re right about one thing; Paul Harvey is a fine news man! I would question the accuracy of the remainder of your comment, however. Not only do I question the comment you made, but I’m also wondering about the content of that Lipton tea you are drinking!

BudPundit: I hope you had a chance to view the Jeopardy show on TV on Wednesday, March 22. I will paraphrase one of the questions from that show: This great broadcaster got his start in Oklahoma in 1933. Of course, the answer is: Paul Harvey. And now you know the rest of the story. The defense rests!
