Tell me again, what party does he represent?
For the past year at the most I have been lamenting the fact television stations do not identify guest as in the past.
In the past, a guest’s name would flash on the screen and I would be able to not only write down his name but to also make appropriate associations with his name regarding the subject matter. The person’s name would also have his title or some other identifying wording. Not any longer.
The space reserved for identifying the guest has now been taken over by recipes for chili and information regarding the latest missing white girl (Smile) added to other information that has begun to crowd the television screen. As a matter of fact, one is lucky if one can secure the name of the guest at all before the commentator goes onto the next subject and the next mystery guest.
So it was during the last election cycle the media did not appropriately identify the party of the candidates they were talking about. If the candidate won or lost, you were at a lost as to his party affiliation. Consequently I feel my patience will be very short come election night Tuesday, November 3rd if the media continues this practice. I am not sure why the media has decided to do this to the viewing public and I have my usual conspiratorial theories. My theories keep me happy and contented until I hear differently. That is, until I hear something that makes an equal amount of sense to me as to why the practice continues. I register my complaints as a citizen owner of the airways.
As always,
BB
P.S. I will continue avoiding any show that feels Pat Buchanan and Chuck Todd have anything worthwhile listening to.
P.P.S. Hilary Clinton is really making a name for herself in diplomatic circles. Many of us dare not even under breath whisper, “I told you so!”
