Or maybe they could do a feature story on a young person whose life was derailed by drug addiction? Or maybe they could do a report on how drug cartels and gangs are thriving in Colorado where marijuana is legal? Or maybe they could do a story on the growing evidence linking marijuana use and the development of schizophrenia in predisposed adolescents? That would be interesting!

The show producers, management, a few reporters, and the assignment editors decide coverage in the morning meeting, usually from approximately 9-10am. If you have a weak news director, aka Ed Kosowski(at abc7), then the assignments were doled out after KTVU's midday newscast. The GM at the time, Joe Ahern, would call Kosowski and ask, "are we covering that" after watching 2's newscast. You are right that there's little original journalism coming from the assignment desk or reporters these days. It's easier to "go along to get along". After all, you want to mail it in and not challenge the follow the other station system when it comes to assignments. You don't get paid extra or get a promotion for thinking creatively or independently. Everyone in tv newsrooms is in survivor mode. Just let me stay in a low profile and wait until retirement or the next job.

The new "host" interviewed a guy from the band 3rd Eye Blind for 2 hours. Really? 3rd Eye Blind? WTF? Even if this was 1997, no one wants to hear a 2 minute interview let alone a 2 hour interview of some faceless band member from a band that was never relevant to begin with. GODDAMN! And then Irish "Flub my Lines" Greg couldn't even read a Chipotle script without screwing up. I SAID GODDAMN!!! And really? Do you really have to have the word "Irish" before Greg? The guy doesn't even sound Irish.
