Those Wild and Wonderful Sportscasters

The critics quoted in Weinstein’s article are just a bunch of stuffed shirts! What’s wrong with a bad joke, a smart-aleck remark or video of the latest pig races after an hour of murder and mayhem on the local news?
Dan Gingold, USC assistant professor of journalism, should climb out of his ivory tower and stop taking the news so seriously!
If a local newsperson laughs at a joke made by the sports or weather person, it doesn’t mean that I will never again trust the news anchor to tell me about a fire, murder or other event.
Keep those crazy folks on the news. We all need a good laugh!
