So, it appears that I'm staying in the dumping ground for local TV news people from around the country. The laryngitis kept me mostly in tonight, but I did take a few moments to belly up to the bar and listen in for a bit. Was eavesdropping on a crew from what I believe was a Fox News affiliate from somewhere. Not too much to report, really. I suppose it shouldn't be too surprising, but apparently appearing on TV every day in front of tens or hundreds of thousands of people is just another job to bitch about like any other. I was a bit surprised by the extent to which it sounded like the "personalities" were just wage slaves like everybody else.
On the other hand, the prima donnas were on display at the Yankees-Red Sox game which was on TV. There's no question that the celebrity of the axis of Russert is absolute poison. Smug Tim, Tom, and Katie were hamming it up in their prime Fenway seats. Celebrities, not journalists.
