Since mainstream “news” just passes on PR from leftist groups of all sorts, they’re all redundant beyond tech people to get the electronic data out.

Do rhetorical questions really need an answer?

[ClearCase_guy]

Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?

They are useless, unless they have the ability to spin a good yarn.

teleprompters are silly but not the main issue

the main issue is who’s programming the teleprompter

Are Teleprompter Readers Like Brian Williams Obsolete?
I stopped watching the CBS/NBC/ABC evening news about 20 years ... way too biased. Started surfing the cable news shows like Fox/CNN/HLN, etc.
But a a few years ago I realized their 24/7 news cycle made for some very boring news stories and a lot of BS fluff pieces.
So I quit watching them and switched back to CBS/NBC/ABC. With my BS radar up, I can deal with them for 30 minutes a day.

Yeah I read somewhere they’re looking at bringing back Katie Couric.

[Mase]

She's willing to leave Yahoo?

LOL

...even Maureen Dowd can’t seem to find the humor in it. It’s as if she senses something more existential (yes, I said it) is at stake here.

Support Free Republic.

Jar Jar Obama, another telepromper reader, is also obsolete.

They don’t even have to be good at it; there will always be a role for them as long as people are too lazy to analyze news/think for themselves.

Of course, the common core system will teach them to read with comprehension at a fair speed of 50 words per minute if the words are no more than 4 letters long, no script and plenty tall so they can see them even after spilling their coke on it.

Public education has been failing for decades; that is how an incompetent token like Obama can be elected. Many years ago a classmate’s father explained how in Italy (where he was raised) the ruling classes wanted the peasants to remain illiterate; I see the same thing unfolding here. We are not trying to mold the next generation of leaders, but rather those who would be led.

I knew the local networks gave up on viewership when I started seeing an obese black woman doing segments; we’ve always had a racial mix of newscasters, but no white woman would get this job in this physical condition. They seem to realize that many people are getting their news elsewhere anyway, so it didn’t matter.

Although Williams’s determination to wrap himself in others’ valor is indefensible

for postmodernist libtards, it is the narrative that counts, not reality, because for them there is no such thing as objective truth.
