6:30 News


The job of the news is to keep you watching and their is always a small preview in the beginning of breaking stories. Good evening this is Daniel German and I think the only reason people watch the news is for the weather. They show it multiple times during the night and it's obviously the most pertinent reason people are there yet the weatherman tends to be wrong 50% of the time. It started off with news that the death penalty was being abolished in New Jersey thanks to Governor Corzine and how manufacturers are removing a deadly ingredient in microwavable popcorn. Ohhh gee thanks. Of the nine who are currently on death row in New Jersey the most notable is the man who molested and killed the girl Megan who is famously associated Megan's Law where pediphile's need to register when they move into a new area of their conviction.
Boring stories circulate like cataclysmic black holes that are engulfing certain small meteors twenty million light years away. Then they will jump back to important stories such as Castro saying he may relinquish his power soon and Putin may agree to be Prime Minister of Russia once his tenure as President is up. Apparently the Screen Writers Guild is on strike so some late night talk show hosts may have poor jokes once the season resumes. Conan said his jokes will be bad and the show might suck but he always makes fun of himself and being a writer for Saturday Night Live I doubt it. They also gave a visual list run-down of upcoming segments on the show that seem so interesting yet always disappoint. It seems obvious why I don't watch the evening news very often
