Someone much wiser than I once said that news is "history caught on the fly."
So true.
As I write this, it is very early Sunday morning. I'm putting the finishing touches on our morning newscast. Among the stories, a criminal indictment and possible arrest of a former president and some of America's biggest banks on the financial edge.
Step back and think about that for a moment.
Wow!
And if that isn't enough, there is the threat of China getting involved in the war in Ukraine and North Korea launching missiles around Asia.
Double wow!
A former supervisor once compared the newsroom to a factory. We simply keep cranking it out. Hey, that's our job. But, when you slow down for a moment and think about what's going on around this planet of ours, it really is awe inspiring. We life in fascinating, and occasionally very dangerous times.
