A Local TV News Producer blasts Local TV News

I worked in local news as well, can so relate to this...did they let him on the air just to bash them??

I work in news as well. Ben is so correct on this one. 100%!!!

Ben... you're my new, favorite Farker.

Well, after JesterGirl, that is. She posts tons of pics of women, in appropriate threads.

That was GREAT. This type of thing needs to happen at least once a week! You are my hero.

Ben, you are so correct on this. I work in local news and you couldn't be more right. And your anchors are restarded. They don't know what it's like out in the field. They must think your viewers are as dumb as they are, or at least it sounds it. Tell them the next snow storm you have, you want them to do the show outside in the storm and see what they think. Local news loves to scare people thinking the world is coming to an end and snow must be armageddon. Thanks for doing this!

thank god for a sane man in news

Thank you, Ben Bowman, and good luck.

*rofl* Awesome, this producer is a hero.

"Now we counter...you say we are giving less relavent information, but we domminated the ratings."
Um....that wasn't the point how do ratings relate to actually informing people?

Thats the main problem that networks don't seem to get.

yeah totally.
