It finally dawned on me why TV reporters wave reams of paper at the news camera during their reports . . . . they are attempting to prove that they DIDN'T get their information from THE NEWSPAPER.
The joke in the print newsroom is when they hear TV news say, "We've just learned . . . ," they suspect the broadcasters just got their copy of the latest edition of the newspaper.
Personally (and I keep ranting about this) I don't care where you got the information. Stop wasting time telling me you did your job, just give me the FACTS, darn it!
