It is either publish or perish and you do what you are told. I am interested in that story because it should serve as a warning to us all--if the "Big Dogs" (networks) of the business do it, the "Pups" (small local station news operations) will copy them. We should all be very aware of it. If you see a camera crew when there's no big event in progress, it's safe to assume they are "enterprising" a story of their own. I will say that since I was never a fan of the evening news "magazines" and their methods, it was nice to see the "Big Dogs" get caught. The bastardized journalism being practiced today ain't what I learned when I was a Pup.
