News

Ten things I hate about local TV news: 1.) "Coming Up ...." Here's a catchy title that easily can expect to see 30 minutes of bad reporting. This title is announced just before each commercial break is still not reached to the story until the last minute. And when they do the story is so stupid you just cursed yourself - I missed a repeat of Seinfeld for this! I have to admit it yet to occasionally.2.) Michigan The loose connection. This is a lame attempt to connect with each disaster or event worldwide. Example: Roof collapses at a Costco in Rhode Island. What is the connection of Michigan ... some dowdy housewife with a strong accent and a permanent Michigan has a sister who was shopping at Costco earlier that very day. The reporter listens intently and nods as described Mrs. brush near her sister death.3) The witness dumb-ass:. This is possibly the most entertaining local news. Yocal believe that some may or may not have seen the incident, but you get your story incomprehensible anyway. "He drove to dare to do to turn around and returned to where I was standin 'on .... then started firin 'the man, bam bam bam-see. " The best are from places like Melvindale and Taylor. Oh, and do not forget the brother who ends every sentence with "I know what I'm sayin ', know what I'm saying" 4) "Live in the place" -?. This is where unnecessarily send a cameraman and a journalist to broadcast live on the site. This is the most ridiculous thing in the team news. In general, a reporter is standing in an empty parking lot in front of a sign. For example, early in the day Ford announced the layoff of 500 employees. The local is what traveling to report this news? The empty parking lot outside the headquarters of Ford Motor to 11:10 pm, while it is raining. Without the big blue oval shot at the headquarters of Ford, I do not believe me. However, are out to get the story us.5.) "Time sensational" 15 degrees is not cold enough for these idiots. Have to calculate the "real feel", "high today is only 15 degrees, but it really will feel at least 52" The very idea will be lower than the other seasons guaranteed, no else has the "Weatherforce Calculator II." The same goes for snow accumulation. A few days before a snowstorm the hype begins. At first is 1 to 3 inches. The day before the change from 4 to 6 and no less than other stations "could be at 6 to 8 inches of snow." This becomes the story of the night, interviews with the plow truck drivers, State Police, etc. How will you survive the fury of Mother Nature? Usually wake up the next morning and guess what, a half inch of snow on your car, turn on the windshield and car. These idiots do not understand. This is Detroit, it snows here in the kind of sensationalism winter.This can lead to: 6) "expert advice" This may be linked to a story as large as 1 to 3 inches of snow .. There are some "experts", a doctor, a Coast Guard official or other person with a title and make giving advice about things like how to prevent freezing or how to keep warm. Remember that skin exposed to freezing temperatures can lead to freezing so wear gloves and a hat. The best is to lose weight. To lose weight, reduce calorie intake and exercising regularly. Fast food can be unhealthy to try to eat more fruits and vegetables. Pioneer 7) Stock footage:. Films to go along with the stories you clear simple nonsense. This material is rarely a day and most of the time it was filmed elsewhere for other purposes. If you look closely you can sometimes see things like a Pearl Jam concert shirt or jeans, acid washed. The best are those of obesity. Always show fat people shot from the neck down holding things like ice cream cones or Doritos bags.8) The stupid survey. - This is obviously filler. They come with a survey or some statistics are useless as 92% of eighth graders like to play games that do their homework or 77.3% of U.S. workforce hates his job. Who cares! This is always used with footage.8A file.) "The recent study" This is a variation of the statistical survey or useless, but with the appearance of a little more credibility because it is "researchers in Belgium" or " , a study by Southwest Delaware State University. " You can almost always bring this under "not shit." These profound discoveries may include: Drinking while operating power tools increases the risk of accidents by up to 60% or studies have shown that children who consume soft drinks with caffeine were less likely to have a restful sleep. . The new study is always accompanied by footage.9 file) "The idiot behind the reporter making faces" - enough said10) "They can go to the lake this 4th of July because of gas prices" ; this forever. gets me. Every summer - surprise - the price of gas goes up just before a holiday weekend. What is the news no? They go to a gas station and interview some losers through the window of his F250.Reporter $ 35,000 Ford: "Is the price of gasoline high to keep at home this weekend?" (The thing is this idiot is not going anywhere anyway.) Conductor: "I just can not afford it, with gas so high I have to stay home," The reporter shakes his head sympathetically and asks, "the children will be disappointed? "" Yes, "says driverJust time I want to see a journalist with the nerve to say," Look, asshole, with gas for 20 cents per gallon higher than last year will cost a whopping $ 19 more to go on holiday this year! "Here's an idea: why not buy a package of less than 12 Bud Lite or skip fireworks enforcement of Ohio, and then you can go on vacation" Luckily, I'm just old enough to remember the good ole times when we had a news anchor is loaded and the Detroit mayor's challenge to a boxing match. I hate local news.
