Can't hear the Beatles? Go hear a 'tribut band' that does their schtick. Sick of hearing Brokaw and Pauley talk about OJ? Howzabout starting a new news service featuring folks that look like, act like and stick to *real* news reported by real reporters like Cronkite and Murrow. Might there be those willing
to take on the challenge? Maybe it'll start a trend and cause the Paris Hiltons of the world to drift back into the obscurity they so richly deserve...

is this an elvis-anchorman idea? or is it just fake-casters as the real casters? and why would paris care as long as they are still reporting on her every vapid breath? |

Maybe I should leave out the "celebrity" in the description. The idea is that once upon a time the newscasters had editorial control over what went out over the airwaves. Those days are gone and so we've now got a bad case of 'celebrity news'. What's needed are reporters from the era of 'hard news' but they're either dead or retired. I propose editors who use the 'old school' doctrine of featuring 'hard news' and have it read by imitators in the 'old style'. |

Brokaw and Pauley? Did you write this idea in 1978 and just post it now? |

OJ? two days ago I would have said who's talking about OJ? |

Hey [steamboat] try BBC news on your public tv station, they cover the world headlines. US network news makes me nauseous |
