In the old days, radio reporters would "rip and read" . . . rip news reports off the teletype and get it right onto the air. Of course, back then, the news services were the respected AP, UPI, and such.
Today, it seems reporters rarely go out and research a story. And they didn't disappoint this year when the Brady Campaign came out with its annual gun safety "report cards." It was if the media was using the Brady Bunch as a news service -- never once questioning the data, but getting it onto the air as soon as possible.
Pathetic.
