6. Be original. During the evening news (half) hour, I can channel-surf ABC, CBS, and NBC and see the same news story at the same time on all three networks. They also have sychronized advertising!

It happens so often I'm starting to think they call each other up before the broadcast to check.

I noticed that several years ago, it is what convinced me the news is not "the news", it is the agreed political position of the networks. And it is why I quit watching. Now I get my news from the links posted here, and I try to confirm with Fox.
