This isnt so much a bitch as it is an amusing/distressing observation.
I am unfamiliar with the behind the scenes’ workings of television news. As a result I am left wondering if the editors or directors for the various local TV news programs edit the clips in order to make sure only the toothless halfwits go to air.
Do they sit there thinking “This guy is missing the requisite number of teeth and talks as though he dropped out of grade four, therefore he stays in the clip.”? Is there a minimum number of visible teeth needed before being allowed on air? Is there a requirement that only the interviewees who use “I seen instead of “I saw” get on air? Are there levels of skankyness that must be met for women? Must be loads of fun on the days where they find some of the gems that appear on air; the ones with their bottom lips touching their nose, that far-away look in their eyes, their “I seen”s, and their speaking in god knows what sort of local hood/hill dialect.
I would like to think that perhaps the whole thing is related to only toothless halfwits being attracted to TV cameras but know that isnt true in todays world.
Maybe “How to Pick Halfwits out of a Crowd” or “Editing for Maximum Halfwit Content” are core journalism courses at Kings…
