       @GottaLaff When Aaron Brown was still a local anchor in Seattle he gave a lecture for my college journalism class. Some student complained about the poor quality of local TV news and he told us ‘TV news is not the news, it’s a TV show about the news. If you want the news, read a newspaper’.  And of course he was right about that.
