uh tell you what um i'll let you start or if that's all right
okay um
my major source of information i guess is TV news excuse me
i uh wake up to it in the morning this is my i guess my prime time for news first thing in the morning while i'm getting ready to go to work
oh i
quite frequently uh glance through headlines or in the newspaper
but uh primarily mine is uh TV news
how about yourself
pretty interesting yeah i have to have to agree with you um
normally don't have time in the morning to to watch the any type of TV usually catch it going to work on the radio
or when i drag the paper in from the front and it pops out of the bag i usually catch the headlines which is normally what you see the night before on the evening news yeah so uh i've kind of um
um true
uh we have a one year old in the house so it's kind of hard sometimes to watch TV during the during the during the night but i usually try to catch the ten o'clock or um
um those type of issues i'd to say during the war uh there were we were the American public was probably flooded with um
uh-huh
uh too much information and as far as the sub question about was i satisfied am i satisfied with the coverage i'd have to say
yes but when it came to the war issues it was like who's telling the truth you could between the channels there was
uh the casualties were differently the amount of missiles launched were different and it was almost too much information over-communicated
well that's true but uh i
uh my personal opinion is that the uh the various network news medias were uh
trying to interpret the news to the best of their abilities since they were not very well informed by the military
true i agree with you
now i can appreciate that especially after what happened in Vietnam
yeah which is a is a joke
uh but
i mean let's face it today's today's uh means of communications we could uh very well a newscaster could very well give away away a
piece of top secret information
um-hum
and uh
pat himself on the back for for uh
making a big scoop
yeah that's a good point uh but i would have to say across the board i'm i'm satisfied with the way uh
the news is is spread um of course here at Texas Instruments uh the rumor mill runs rampant the secretary's probably are the best resource of what the layoff status is
very true i find T News very enlightening and i check that everyday and of course with that goes along the the stock price of TI
yes
yeah
yeah yeah yeah i agree with you i i'm glad you mentioned that because i think i have to since i don't have the opportunity in the morning i'll probably catch the the head lines on T News that's a good point
of course T News is is more or less headlines uh i don't think much of of their sports coverage
um-hum
yeah true kind of short
all they give the scores
yeah least
but uh that's right i'm not
yeah outside of of uh pro football i'm not too interested in other games uh other sports anyway
um-hum
but uh the the T News is is a good way to keep up to date i think they do a pretty good job selecting the most important items
well that's great
yeah i do i surely do
they do they surely do uh anything anything else cross your mind uh i guess most of us go by the audio which is the the television television or the radio
uh-huh
um
yeah but you need to continue to read so you you can people learn to read you know
well i spent twenty years in professional in uh commercial broadcasting ten in radio and then ten in uh TV
and i know what it takes to get some of those little bits and of bits and pieces of news on the air
hm
uh i mean there there are times where uh video uh reporter actually will risk is life life and limb i've seen it happen time and time again
and uh well i remember one time up in Nashville Tennessee was one of the fellows fellows got mixed up in a with a riot going on down there but he was lucky he got out of it
hm
for some reason because he was carrying a camera
uh they left him alone
ouch everybody got excited
um-hum
that's tough that's tough well i've enjoyed speaking with you
nice talking to you too Jim

no
