And if he hadn't read the paper, particularly the horse races page, this local TV reporter would not have been able to produce this:

I know in the market I first began the ol' TV career....we would have lost our entire 1st block. The 2nd block would have been fine as it was national headlines...wait, they came from the paper too.

What would TV do without newspapers? I think the another thread topic says it all:
Massage parlor ads in the newspaper! (http://openline.medialine.com/showthread.php?t=27707)
TV would have to advertise for massage parlors!!!!:o

But think about how happy news people would be!:shifty:
Well, then there's the raids.
And then come the arrests.
And embarrassment.
....on second thought....scratch that idea.:doh:

The message is true but it would pack more of a punch if it came from a legitimate newspaper. The NY Post is not worth the paper it's printed on.

One would hope TV would go out and get their own stories.

But that's not likely.
