My worst experience with TV News was this. We were to go on in order to raise awareness for RSD, our originally scheduled time got cut short 10 minutes, and given to, wait for it, a "horse psychic".

Okay, that really did make me laugh. To be more clear, it was a person who claimed to read the minds of horses.
"I wanna go out"
"I wanna come in" (usually about 30 seconds after the go out one)
"Feed me"
"Pet me"
and "leave me alone. I am sleeping"

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostI think your video showed that they're not "anchors" - they are copy readers. I had long suspected, but that was pretty convincing. Even when they tried to add their own little twist, it was so laughable knowing they're just reading a teleprompter.

That's all it is about. They can get more people to watch some dumb story about someone who reads minds of horses than about a real story about a devastating disease that only affects a very small percentage of the population.

Originally posted by Sparko View Postwell a horse that can read minds is pretty newsworthy. I saw a reality TV show about a horse that could talk, named Mr. Ed.

Ya know - I hadn't thought about it this way before, but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if this was yet another "revenue stream" for the "news" outlet.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
