I actually started as a print journalist, joining my college paper, The Daily Bruin, because I wanted to be a TV man. And all good TV journalists, I assumed, were good writers. You’re laughing, right? I wasn’t, and I got an internship at KNBC in Los Angeles, which scared me straight, and I haven’t watch the local news since. (I actually hadn’t really watched it before either.)

Above is a righteous parody of “What We Call The News.” It sticks to national and cable news. Just imagine how inane the topics would be if this went local.
