Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life

[OT] A Brilliant Quote ????

Brilliant quote by Colin Cowherd of ESPN: "Good looking people go into TV, smart people into newspapers, Radio gets the rest."

I'm not sure if I agree with this statement.

What smart person would go into the newspaper business today?

Local TV stations might put attractive, but dumb, newsreaders on the air, but there seem to be at least some very smart and intelligent people at the national level.

As a long time fan of radio, I think some very smart people are on the radio. Perhaps ugly, but not stupid.

IMO Colin Cowherd never met a personal opinion of his he did not like – dude talks like he is the authority on every fucking shit/subject.

Exactly. The web is decimating the newspaper business. Smartest content is scattered over thousands of individual blogs.

I used to work at a TV station and walked away that most news people are scum. Not seen much to change my mind.

Couldn't tell you the last time I actually bought or read an actual physical newspaper. Has to be years ago.

Everything is on line now. Why even buy a newspaper?

"Journalism" is investigative reporting, which the on line news services rarely if ever do. The Chicago Tribune is a shining example: they've uncovered several huge scandals recently, the biggest being the city of Chicago first taking bribes for $3 million the red light camera contract, and then how they illegally shortened the yellow light time to write thousands of undeserved tickets. Plus, the cameras actually cause accidents according to their study, refuting Chicago's claim they make intersections safer. The Tribune went in to great detail on the methodology of their findings.

This was a great example of the need for intelligent, hard working people to stay in journalism even though it's a tough industry with electronic media. Our freedom as Americans owe a debt to a free, inquisitive press.
