Details at Eleven

I think I've unearthed the worst job on television. It is the so-called "journalists" on the 11pm "news."

These poor slobs have to find something - let's face it, they have to make anything do - and make it sound compelling enough to make you watch what will inevitably be a waste of your time. Even the ads leading up to the show must sound compelling, as I've noted in the past. So these "journalists" are merely actors - making nothings sound like you-can't-afford-to-misses. All the while knowing their audience can access the web to get the same information whenever it is convenient for them, not the TV station programmers.

I've had to look for quite some time to unearth a TV job lower on the "worthy" scale than cable "news" "experts."

I've also never had to use so many quote marks in an article.
