Post by: TCB on December 17, 2015, 01:14:01 AM: T.O.D.

Growing up I think we mostly watched Huntley and Brinkley, although in my grandmother's room it was always Walter Cronkite.

As an adult, I think my favorite was Peter Jennings. Sticking with ABC, I really liked Diane Sawyer, and now David Muir.

Growing up before I we had cable we only had CBS and NBC from over the air. Walter Cronkite and Huntley and Brinkley were always favorites. In Canada I can't remember who did the early evening news but there were quite a few good good ones late evening news host whose names escape me at the moment.

NOW
I absolutely hate local news and don't watch it.

Also don't watch TV that early in the evening when the network news is on.

I currently enjoy MSNBC news programs

Hate Fox news

Also like Anderson Cooper

Post by: George on December 17, 2015, 02:55:20 AM: Otherwise, I like Anderson Cooper and Rachel Maddow and David Muir.

Post by: George on December 17, 2015, 03:08:49 AM: Now, I just watched the end of my DVD to "Scrooge," starring Albert Finney. A co-worker wants to borrow it and I wanted to see the end. I love this movie, especially the ending. :D

Post by: elmore3003 on December 17, 2015, 04:52:07 AM: I got in yesterday's post the 14th season of Midsomer Murders and I watched the first episde last night, along with a rather syrupy movie The Christmas Candle. It's one of those films that make me think, one more rewrite might have fixed its problems. It had a good cast, but the costumes were 1880s yet the year was around 1900, and I never could tell the time span of the actual plot.

Title: Re: FEELING THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT
Post by: elmore3003 on December 17, 2015, 06:03:16 AM: I grew up on Huntley-Brinkley, Cronkite, and "Meet The Press," thanks to my dad.

I can remember coming home from grade school to my mother watching the HUAC activities on the television, although I honestly do not know to this day what my parents' feelings about McCarthy were. I suspect if Ugly Joe McCarthy were alive today, he'd be running in the GOP race and a hero on the fear-mongering Faux News, breeding ground of opinions I oppose and mostly detet.

Today, I watch the PBS News Hour when I remember it and the CBS News at 6:30 after I watch the local news.

Title: Re: FEELING THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT
Post by: Jrand73 on December 17, 2015, 06:54:16 AM: I worked for the Society of Professional Journalists for two years as the Executive Assistant to the Executive Director. It was very interesting, I traveled a lot, and I met a LOT of people.

This was in the early 1990's when the changeover to the electronic media was just beginning.

As MR BK said, there is very little REAL journalism anymore. Anyone with a computer can write a blog and become an EXPERT....no need for fact checking or taking responsibility for what you write. No thinking needed.
Title: Re: FEELING THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT
Post by: Jrand73 on December 17, 2015, 06:57:39 AM: When I was growing up - the evening news was only 15 minutes long. We usually watched Huntley-Brinkley because that was the program that came on after Frances Farmer Presents on Channel 6.

Walter Cronkite was the second choice until junior high, then I liked him better. Earlier in grade school, I hated to come home and find a special report from Pauline Frederick who had the United Nations beat on NBC....she was old, but she knew what she was talking about.

Nowadays, I get most of my news from the computer. I don't read a newspaper regularly. I don't get people who go crazy about what some news network is reporting. If you don't like it, watch another channel! News is as specialized as everything else is now. You can find what you want to hear if you look long enough.
Title: Re: FEELING THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT
Post by: John G. on December 17, 2015, 06:57:50 AM: TOD: I didn't really watch TV news when I was growing up. It was something my parents did. They watched John Chancellor.

When I got to college, I fell for anything Linda Ellerbee did. Her writing was always intelligent and informed and iconoclastic.

Worst was Connie Chung. I remember when she interviewed k.d. lang early in her career and she couldn't figure out how to ask the singer if she were a lesbian, so she came up with some ridiculous question about buying cherries jubilee for a woman. To which lang answered, something to the effect of I don't know what cherries jubilee is, Connie. (Chung was worse on the news than she was was on her own news magazine.)

Post by: elmore3003 on December 17, 2015, 12:53:37 PM: The soup came out quite nicely. I had a bowl and froze everything else.

The kitchen is cleaned and once the pans dry, I can scrub the stove. I need a nap.

That sounds like something a choreographer would say to the ensemble.

Post by: John G. on December 17, 2015, 01:39:56 PM: Got some good news and bad news from my sister Annaliese today. She has had her position reduced from full-time to part-time. She thinks that the university will continue to offer her free tuition while she finishes her doctorate, which is good for her. A lightening of the work load while she studies will be welcome. It's also good that her son, who starts college next fall, is receiving a raft-load of fully paid four-year scholarships. And her husband's insurance will likely cover her.

She has been severely stressed of late, but losing money is never good.

With less to do, she may be able to pay more attention to her health.

On happier news, I've had a request about possible vocal arranging/orchestrating for an Irish trio.

That's great, Larry! Very good news!

Thursday morning greetings! My day started with a nosebleed and Fr. Richard's with a call that a parishioner died overnight.

Hopefully, the nose stopped bleeding quickly. And my condolences to the family of the parishioner. :(

My Nook is smaller.

But Jane, the headphone jack isn't. That's a standard size.
