Or… hire more journalists and pay them a living wage. AI rewrites don’t solve the problem of not having real coverage of local issues. Sure sounds like a solution. Let's all know which stations(s) you buy and/or manage and apply it to. Meanwhile, suggested rewrites to keep a story fresh could be do...

Instead of running the same story, using the exact same verbiage, 17 times in 4 newscasts per day, perhaps they can do with AI what they refuse or are too lazy to do manually - refresh rewrites.

If so: AI - bring it!

Call it Freudian slip or TDS, I found the end of the OJ story published by the LA Times on Apple News yesterday amusing...

All that's missing is the magnifying glass...

Same room as has always been used for in-station reporting when not in studio - just a new name as described by the banner and reporter.

It doubles as being a more honest description.

...and Abitibi (& its successor(s) including DPI), used to provide a fair number of jobs for the Alpena area. No more. So maybe the new owners have buyer's regret, and combined with a local economy down on its luck, have to make cuts - not just because they want to eliminate local news. Sheesh. BTW ...

We need this implemented STAT! How else will humans be able to document what lunar Time it will be on the Dark Side of The Moon during Monday's total Eclipse?

Maybe a fair amount of Amish furniture made in that area as well.

As far as the subject phrase is concerned, I believe that was more a Billy Bob Clinton campaign mantra than anything attached to the R-side of the aisle...

The 'tease' on local TV news last night:

"...Trump campaigned in Michigan today... hear what he had to say, and the Democratic response."

Along with other SCTV alums John Candy, Eugene Levy & Harold Ramis, Flaherty was the voice of a couple of the characters in 1981's weird collection of future space drug, sex and rock & roll animation: the movie, "Heavy Metal".

BernstEbels Broadcasting has certain ring to it.

HEY!!! Fifi's in heat again!

Seems the budget office is still in the process of playing the shell game with who gets what out of that bag, so nothing is final at this point, but it does beg a question: Flush with pot and gambling $$$, what could possibly go awry in da Mitt if the auditor general's office really does end up seei...

You don't really need to find out what's goin' on
You don't really want to know just how far it's gone
Just leave well enough alone, eat your dirty laundry

At noon, they said nothing about the Facebook / Instagram outage. Solid reporting right there.

Surely, you jest.
