Hello Paul and List,

Well now you gotta see where Jennings is coming from here. I mean
literally.  Jennings is a product of the old school Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation (CBC)-and yes he is Canadian- which drew
heavily on the BBC format for TV and radio (for years these guys read
the radio news while dressed in a tux) and then he moved on to the
Canadian Television network (CTV) then into the States.  He probably
still has this attitude that he is above it all, a carryover from his
early days at the Corp. when and where this type of behavior was
fostered.

Watch closely for some (what I call) kickout phrases, attitudes or
effects where just about any UFO report on the big networks is
concerned.  Jenning's smirk, a crack about pink elephants between
anchors, quirky space music, too much floridation in the water supply,
or there's a full moon tonight;are all ways with which the "anchor"
disassociates him/herself from the material that they are
uncomfortable with.  If they look like they are buying into the UFO
story then they are lowering themselves to the level of the masses and
to guys like Peter its really breaking the aloofness code.

I've yet to find a UFO story on the national news in either country
delivered by a respected anchor where there wasn't one of these
"kickout" clauses.

>Surely there must be some hope?

Naaah.
