See anchor run. See anchor - Run!
The Pope is Dead.
The 26-year Papacy of the very conservative Pope has come to an end.
I didn't have to listen to the reports, or even read the newspaper. All I had to do was see from where the anchors at the major networks were reporting. Remember last week, when major media players were dispatched to Florida for the death-watch of... oh, who was that woman? (See previous blog) They hardly had time to style their hair before they had to fly to Vatican City for the next death-watch. Remember at the end of last year-- Right after reports of the Tsunami started coming in? There was a race to see which anchor could be on the ground the quickest. It's not a new trend. From the time Murrow reported from the roof in London as the bombs dropped, there's been an effort to be "at the scene" of major tragadies.

However, it makes me believe, If you see a major anchor, from a major network in your neighborhood-- Run.
Chances are they're not there to do a feature story on the neighbor's 3-legged dog.
Forget "Spot". See anchor run. See anchor - Run!
