we got head talkers all over the area measuring snow, standing in wawa (fast food) parking lots talking about snow plows..

Junk journalism
BUZZ MACHINE
By Jeff Jarvis on journalism

So we have a big snowstorm coming through the Northeast right now and TV can talk about nothing else. I’m sorry, but it doesn’t take a journalism degree to do this. Anyone could do this. Let me hook up my laptop camera and I’ll go outside and step in the drift and observe how deep it is and I’ll capture those late-breaking images of plows and I’ll advise you not to go out unless you have to…. over and over and over again. And I might even do it gramatically. I just heard a highly paid TV correspondent saying it was getting “more wet and more icy.” And more stupid.
