I’m a Reporter, And I Don’t Care About Trump

The broadcasting industry could die under President Trump
Truth is power and journalists have a duty which has been lost in our work.
I've written about all sorts of things here, managing, micro-managing, anchoring, reporting and being human. There's been a lot of that being human business mixed with reporting and anchoring lately.…
Being a news anchor is difficult on a good day. I'm not numb anymore.
My boss is difficult. We've all been there! Don't leave, learn to partner with the difficult boss instead. Smile and forge ahead. You won't be sorry.
Ego: My point here is we've all worked with these people, yes? Some days I still do. You know that person who wants you to feel bad about yourself because they feel bad about themselves.
I've met some interesting characters for sure over the years. One time I got a call from a guy in my state, who was at the gynecologists office with his girlfriend! Seriously, this guy calls me from the gyno office? Years later we had an email exchange. What I wanted to say? "Oh ya, the one who called me from the gyno office and never started a 24/7 news station"?
Another school shooting and what do the networks do? They rush to figure out, who's the shooter? Why did he do it, what's his religion, skin color, family status, etc. Then they plaster his face EVERY WHERE YOU LOOK. The pundits come out of the woodwork, this one with a psych degree, this guy who used to be a professor of English (one was killed last week), and someone who's pro-gun rights, etc. What does any of that matter in the scheme of things. Time fill.
