There are very few jobs less rewarding and more stressful in TV news than Assignment Editor. The job warps the person. I often thought the Unibomber would have made a fine assignment editor.
So cut this guy some slack. His job is thankless and Gannett is kind of a nightmare right now.
There was a time, a time before interwebs. When the local anchorman reigned supreme. When people believed everything they heard on TV. This was an age when only men were allowed to read the news. And in Washington, one anchorman was more man then the rest. His name was Alan Henney. He was like a god walking amongst mere mortals. He had a voice that could make a wolverine purr and suits so fine they made Sinatra look like a hobo. In other words, Alan Henney was the balls.
"We are doing less news gathering these days and more information posting. Somebody needs to be driving the news machine at all times, actively pursuing news leads."

It's not big government; it's smart government!
(Um I dunno if this is such a good idea. Wouldn't one small nuclear device wipe out all of our "security" in one big boom)? Eggs, basket, etc.

Surprised at you, Unc; thought you knew a bit more about the down-there female biz.
