RE: Here is how you know they will let anyone on television
Folks...I know this man...personally. I have spoken with him for hours. I know what his vocabulary is. I almost didnt recognize his "professional" voice.... hahahaha
Stanley, dont sell yourself short. Although I am very anti-media, you did a great job on the story, you reported it very well, you spoke with eloquence, and you were confident. I watch the news(sometimes). I have also watched local news in other states...the reporting is very different in other places of this country. I watched you, and it was as if I was watching a veteran. I was very impressed, and your report made so much sense...
as for some info I have(in case they pile-drive you infront of a camera again), let me know. SF uses something similar for red light tickets...I know...our drivers have done it on a few occaisions.
anyway...keep it up. You didnt sound like you were talking to yourself(I've heard that before-haha)...I would never have thought for a second, that the reporter of that story wasnt comfortable infront of the camera.
Oh, and the upper torso shot was a wise choice
