Greenburg seems like a overpaid and uneducated news reporter, but I guess thats what it takes to be reporter these days.

He's not as obnoxiously obnoxious as some of them. Crandall is a mean SOB, but he is also razor sharp, which is the sort of leadership that is lacking (mean is one thing, but you have to be smart!)

Slightly off topic:

I hate news stories online that are purely video. I like getting my news online because I don't have to see somebody tell me the story I'm trying to follow. If I wanted talking heads, I would watch TV.

Absolutely fascinating! Thanks for posting this. I watched the whole thing and realized this is only the tip of the iceberg that is the complicated and f-ed up industry that exists in this country today

If a movie were to be made about Bob Crandall Im pretty sure William Defoe could pull it off.

I love naked news. How ever says news cant be sexy has never seen naked news. How else and I going to care about some country if the news anchors arn't naked?
