Last night on Local News/LA vet anchor
Hal Fishman did his usual commentary...
-only last night he stated that Israel was positioned to lob off nukes at Iran and that, they were awaitng the go ahead orders from the WH, once they've determined that Iran won't back down (like that was ever going to stop israel and bush).
- I couldn't believe what I was hearing out of this bland and conservative anchor....why the hell would Hal's media masters allow him to make these claims on a 10PM local news broadcast-was this KTLA's way of trying to appear the responsible broadcaster by giving LA, in effect, was a REAL warning via their anchor's 'commentary' segment?

2. Actually, he's a pompous, self-important jerk

who doesn't fail to let people know he was a Political Science professor and tries to make sure everybody recognizes his obvious superiority.

(Then there's his bragging on being a pilot, but for another time.)

6. Don't watch TV.
Your brain will thank you.
Especially don't watch TV "News".
Especially don't watch Fishman.
It only encourages them when you watch, anyway.
