One of the local TV stations, WAAY, has suddenly dismissed their news anchor, Michael Scott. What amuses me is the veil of secrecy that news organizations use to try to hide their own goings-on. The only reason given is that something happened during a commercial break on the 10:00 newscast. Since they won’t say exactly what happened, I choose to believe Scott stripped naked, leaped to the top of the news desk, and began screaming “I’m the ruler of the world! Behold my mighty staff!” Alas, the truth is probably more mundane.
Just for the record, it’s been ten years since I watched a local newscast, so I didn’t know who the hell Michael Scott was.
