Newspapers Look More Like TV Every Day—Not Quite

Los Angeles, CA—All forms of news publishing is endangered as revenue is widely spread between all the new competition. Gone are the big budgets to cover stories.

Newspapers have quietly sent reporters out with new inexpensive but high quality digital video cameras to gather news. Since nearly everyone connected to the Internet via broadband connections video is feasible.

The tradeoff is the newspaper reporters are only chosen for their newsgathering and writing ability rather than being attractive and having pleasing voices. Newspaper reporters are dramatically less stylish in their manner of dress since their images are rarely been broadcast.

The video work produced by newspapers has been pretty much reduced to interviews with newsmakers and video of events. The vanity stand ups and teleprompter news reading has not been part of the changes until recently.

Okay I have a thing for those hot, leggy blond babes on FOX NEWS. They are quite the distraction. Somehow a magic filter they have makes all news good news when reported by those foxes at FOX.

This guy from the L.A. Times ain’t pretty and he talks funny but there is nothing wrong with the information he’s passing along to their web visitors.

Sit back and watch reporter Richard Winton report on a nasty mass murder in Valley Village, CA. This will be the new face of local news as print reporters transition into the new media.

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

America Will See Its Worst Race Riot Yet This Summer

Star Prosecution Witness, Rachel Jeantel Sanford, FL —Yes, the George Zimmerman trial here has thousands of African-Americans getting ready for some serious bloodletting. I don’t want to make idle and dire predictions but this nation has never been so divided and racially sensitive.  Our African-American President took sides on this case at the very beginning.  That ratified a George Zimmerman guilty verdict in the minds of millions. There’s just one little problem, and that is the murder case should have never been filed.  It was filed purely for political reasons despite the fact that it was a simple justifiable homicide.  Zimmerman was on the block watch lookout program and followed a suspicious Trayvon Martin after he used an improper entrance to a gated community.  Zimmerman was acting as the eyes and ears of the Sanford Police Department. Martin did not like being followed and knew that he could easily beat up the out-of-shape...

The origin of the feature film, COME FRIDAY…

CLick On the pictures to see full size versions. Long ago there was a young lady I had the hots for in a big way (Yes, I know that hots is not a word). She was pretty, incredibly bright, and had some real elegance about her. She had a love for children and basic kindness that you don’t often see in someone her age. I met her parents and could understand she came from a much more stable home than mine. I was raised by a single, welfare mom and suddenly found myself way out-classed. For whatever reasons things did not workout they way I had hoped. Sadly for me, we went on our separate ways. From time to time I’d run into this lady in various places where our job had taken us. Whenever this happened my heart would skip a beat or two. I left my hometown Chicago, and moved to Arizona where I founded my detective agency. As a private eye and soon a TV news producer too, my career took me to the highest profile criminal events in Arizona and throughout the country. There’s no question that ...
