the news

if there's any profession out there where people become the profession, like the waiter in Being and Nothingness playing at being a waiter, it is News Reporting!

Since i've been sick the past 5 days, I've had the unfortunate chance to watch lots of TV (your eyes really can burn after a while), and I've grown quite a resentment to these news reporters, who all speak the exact same. Is there anyone out there who is a real person AND a news reporter? Or are all news reporters "news reporters"?
