“They don’t report, they repeat”

How much of the news you hear originates with the TV station you’re getting it from?

Not much as this reel shows.

The originality comes in the delivery not from the “reporters.”

Good rule of thumb for what you see on TV:

* They don’t report – they don’t repeat
* They don’t investigate – they elaborate

With the Associated Press and handful of news sources “at the top,” it is surprisingly easy to control US “news” reporting.
