Hi,
. . . Sean Connery played a "superstar" reporter . . .
Text reporters are seen as nothing more than a byline. Perhaps by doing something extremely outstanding ("Doctor Livingston I presume") they can occasionally be noticed. But in text reporting it is all about the news and nothing about the chronicler.
The radio changed that some, so that a little of the personality of the reporter came through. While still mostly about the news, the 'news people' started to become more important -- especially those that served up the news with a fair bit of opinion.
And now, the botoxed beauties and coiffure clotheshorse through which any importance or relevance is filtered out of the news have become *the* show. An extremely happy group due to their ignorance, they can seldom pronounce, and rarely understand, anything more complex than a train wreck (and in some cases not even that). And, although their putative job is to elevate the nations collective intelligence and knowledge, they
"Care ... not to come up any higher
But rather get you down in the hole
That {they're} in."
Possibly the biggest mistake of our times, when so many big mistakes have been made, was in not interpreting the first amendment literally. It mentions 'the press', as in the printing press, the written word. It says nothing of radio and TV ;) Time to shut down those detractors to the nation's mental health and sanity :)
