This Just In.........Local TV anchors

      In this day and age of instant communications on computers, smart phones, other mobile device's , wifi, satellite, and whatever, I wonder what the need is for local TV news along with these terrible local anchors ?????  It is like watching smoke signals in the air, or listening to Morse code to figure out what is happening.
     It's like these local station owners have not realized that it is almost 2011 and we are in an instant world.  I don't know how it is in your town, but on the local stations here (like ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX) I feel like I am watching the Flintstones.  The male anchors all look alike in their polyester suits with big fat ugly ties, while the female anchors all look like flunk outs from Fox News, CNBC, and MS NBC.....They look ugly which is no big deal........They dress ugly which is a little bit of a deal.........And they can't speak for shit, which is a big deal.........Why??????  Do we really need to know about a lost dog that has been missing for a week ????  Must we see 4 minutes of tape of the local liquor store that was robbed by some idiot and have them give me that idiot's life history ????? No No No..........The funny thing is that I don't watch the local news, but somehow had it on yesterday, and then decided to watch it again earlier to see if it was me or if the rest of the world was nuts?????
     If they want me to watch the local news.........they better have newscasters like the ones pictured above.....But we know that is only on Playboy and will never happen on local stations.....
        The picture above is from a local station in the 70's.  OMG, that is almost 40 years ago and the local stations here in Florida still look like that.  How do you wake up these people ?  Who watches this news so this is still on the air ?  Do that many local station owners have retarded relatives that needed jobs??????
     Wow, it got better looking, but please don't listen to them speak..........On my last trip to NY, I watched some local news and it was not like it is down here.  Don't get me wrong.  I am sure there is a little niche to be filled before the late night shows, or earlier before prime time shows.  Obviously they do have some followers or they would be off the air. ( I think ).  But do you really want to know the pathetic thing ???????  It's not only the local anchors and news team.
Oh yes !!!!!! My all time favorite.  The biggest jerk in the world on National TV.  Your friend and mine, Mr. Al Roker.  I only say that because of my association with this low life many years ago.  Al did a hour special on No Smoking some time ago. During that period, my company did some no smoking ties etc. that were the biggest sellers ever.  They were even on the cover of Neiman Marcus Famous Christmas Catalog.  Well, Al came up to my showroom and begged for sample to be worn and shown on this national special he was hosting. He promised to use our name when he spoke of it and/or displayed it.......Well, I am still waiting....... But it does feel nice to publicly humiliate him.
     So the bottom line of all this rambling is simple.  Who watches the local news anyway.??????
