okay what um
do you watch much TV or
you know
um no i don't watch much TV sometimes um usually the reason i will turn it on is to hear the news but i don't think of that every day even
the news yeah
uh-huh
um i think i get most of my current events well i get them from everywhere i sometimes watch TV if i i guess i watch TV if i haven't read the paper that day we don't get a paper but i work um
at a i teach college class and uh there's a the library has a paper and so i often drop in on a break and
oh uh-huh
yeah
and read it and then i keep the radio on quite a bit when i'm home
um-hum
and then i i figure if there's big big news i'll hear it from my husband when he gets home or someone else you know
yeah yeah now i also i get it from all over i watch the news every day and i have we have a news you know we get the newspaper and uh
uh-huh
um
magazines anything anything you know i'm i read a lot so i get um you know i'm i'm really up on uh current affairs i get you know
uh-huh
the news and and everything
yeah what's your favorite news do you do you get a news magazine or
um well i'm not getting any no i'm not getting any news magazines but um
uh-huh
you know as as i said i do
uh it's uh it's easy to keep up on current events you know on certainly you know especially when you um you know you get a paper every day
yeah
yeah we've got
yeah
and uh
yeah exactly are you satisfied with the quality of coverage
uh i don't know is there anything missing i you know i
yeah it's kind of hard to know isn't it
and i don't know you know what what's i mean what are we supposed to uh
compare it to you know i mean the quality uh
uh-huh
whatever they tell you you know i uh
i guess i'm uh i you know i'm satisfied i mean i uh
you you you know they're they're supposedly covering everything that happens so you know
yeah yeah well i do feel like a little bit like being from California and
wanting to hear like i've heard through the grapevine sometimes that there's been an earthquake or sliding or something and i don't ever hear it in the news here you know it's um
oh really
oh
well uh sometimes it's such a you know it's it's so um
slight you know like the tremors are so slight that they don't even bother putting it in the
yeah
yeah
paper but most of the time the times i find that even if there are you know they do have like tremors out there uh you know there'll be a small article in the paper about it
yeah yeah
but um
yeah i sometimes feel like um the Dallas paper and the Dallas News
um the top headlines are always a murder you know and that's because there's a high crime rate yeah
oh well that's what sells papers
yeah
that's um that's been like that since they the first newspaper you know
yeah yeah i'm sure
you know but um
i don't know i i guess i'm satisfied i don't uh
uh-huh
i mean what basis you know of comparison do we have really we don't get a you know
yeah really
that's true we certainly get enough coverage i mean we we
we can get news you know i mean there's even the C N N channel where we can get world news twenty four hours a day so
oh yeah i was gonna
sure
yeah sometimes you don't even want to be bothered with the news because it's all so bad
yeah
it's all so negative you know
yeah
but
often times
so
yeah
well we have to keep talking i guess
well no i guess we can end yeah it's just whenever we're
oh
oh is it really
um yeah have you always gone until the recording
well yeah i don't i don't uh
uh-huh oops i guess we're not supposed to
i don't know we're supposed i guess we're supposed to wait or
yeah
i don't know
uh-huh
cause i you know like one well was it last week we were supposed to talk about gardening
uh-huh
uh and it was really funny i i i mixed it made the call and it happened to be my friend who lives a few blocks away
oh really it just
yeah and it was really we were laughing i mean but you know we don't really do any gardening so like that took like a minute
uh-huh
and then we just talked about you know whatever i mean
uh-huh interesting yeah
you know i mean some topics really now you know now this topic this is i mean there really isn't much to say after
um-hum
you know you uh you know you you tell a person what uh news their a
you know where their where they find their sources of of information from and then you know if if it's uh if they're satisfied and that's about it really
yeah
um-hum
it's hard to talk for five minutes on this
yeah
so um
yeah well i guess i can just say i uh it bothers me that i hear a lot about um you know on the news that
well it seems like i don't know some things are sensationalized or some things are um you know you'll hear one report and then you'll hear that it you know they didn't um
