It says 'not more than 10 days', well if it was enacted on March 11 and it is published on March 25, that is 14 days. Which tells me that it is too late to be enacted as a bill.
Funny you should sign "Semper Fi." The Marine Corps has one of the best medical plans for all Marines and their families and, if you look close at it, it is a "socialist" program. Don't put a tag on something just because you disagree with it. Americans deserve the same benefits that Marines and Canadians have.
My comment was not intended to claim knowledge of the "motives" of the on camera personalities or the producers of any particular show. My comment was intended to describe the typical format of the half-hour news broadcasts, obviously. As for the feed services, that is a topic that CMD has studied at great length, along with analyzing a multitude of VNRs used at stations across the country.
The fact is that the VNRs save the stations time and money by creating content they don't have to create themselves. I don't think making that observation counts as "pretending" to understand how feed services work or the inner dialogue of any particular producer.
If you think VNRs without disclosure are just fine as a "TV News person" then you perhaps ought to take a close look at the forfeiture notices issued by the FCC. They make the law quite clear. I stand by our complaints about these practices and my comments. Lisa
the problem isn't the folks at the station, it's the people who run the network and make its policies. If I watch a "news" program and see only a smidgen of news here and there amid gobs of ads and hype, how much do I really need to know about the "inner workings" to feel that the audience deserves better?
I'm glad for your comment, as it illustrates that rich versus the rest of us isn't the only way to draw the lines in American society; there's also the hidden-behind versus those privileged to hide behind them.
