I have yet to meet a local television reporter who wasn't a hack and a camera whore. Apologies to any of you who might be married to anchors.

Also reports on the Air and Water Show here last week focused inordinately in the leads of their stories and headlines on the 100 or so peace protestors who complained the event promoted militarism -- as opposed to the 2 MILLION people who just watched the show and had no problem with it.

STOP THE PRESSES! "Millions Enjoy Air Show." Meanwhile, Bilmore sees evidence of some violent protesters and complains they didn't get enough attention. Journalism involves making a call about whether what you're seeing is newsworthy. No matter which way you ultimately decide, that decision will be second-guessed first by your editor, and then the GOP.
