…than any Cable News outlet. Their on-the-spot reportage has always been concise, hyper-professional and super-informative. I don’t know if it’s in how they recruit, or train or what, but for breaking events they’re at? They’re the gold standard journalistically.

As much as I criticize cable TV news, I have to give her credit for the job she did. She kept her wits, and just automatically launched into concise, clear and descriptive sentences. There was no speculation, no conjecture, just reporting of what she witnessed without fail or hesitation. It was admirable.
