Great concept.
The, ‘fly’, in the soup is. “’Spin” & “Interpretation”
A Local TV ’News’ Station, had ONE, Commercial. (Lucky that I saw it) And it appeared only ONE, time, (Because I am sure a WHOLE LOT of people called in)
It stated: “We will Interrupt the ’News’, for you, so you don’t have to” (Wonder what ‘intern’, thought that up?)
Reminds me of 20+ years ago, watching the 5 o’clock ’news’, and they said: “A wounded Eagle, was taken to the rapture center today, it was shot by a ‘hunter’” We were going to a Christmas party, and, (of course), I was ready before the wife was.
I was furious, I called the station, and demanded I speak with the producer of that segment, when, Finally getting, ‘her’ on the phone, referenced the story, and asked her, if it was a, graffiti, discovered, would you say it was a N….’er that did it ? She said: ‘Well of Course Not” I said: “Then why do you say a, ‘Hunter’, NOT, a Vandal, or Poacher”.
At the party, (a short drive), I asked the Hostess If I could watch the 6 o’clock news. The, ’news’, came on, and when that story came up they said: “A wounded Eagle, was taken to the rapture center today, it was apparently shot by a ‘poacher’”
(Same Station that said it would, “ Interrupt the ’News’, for you”.)
So, what ya gonna do? Shrug your shoulders and say: "So What". OR Get on the horn and say: "STOP THAT" ?
