Reading The TV News Headlines

TV News always looks exciting and glamorous: being a TV news anchor carries authority and power and doesn’t have to come with all the trappings of fame; a TV journalist has travel, a sense of excitement, and sometimes even risk. The cameras and the lights: a heady mix of worthiness, weight and touch of showbiz!

It must be a horrible task – hours and hours to fill and nothing at all to say. Hopefully, tomorrow there will be some facts to report. Right now, 74 votes for Bush and 78 for Kerry. The future of our world could easily be in the hands of one of them.
