Let’s level up our news game

In the news business, when a lot of citizens are asked the same question, it’s called a “man on the street.” Late night TV hosts like to stun us with bits where seemingly common knowledge is not that common after all. Jay Leno once asked people on San Antonio’s Riverwalk to name someone who fought in the Alamo. The jaw-dropping ignorance made us laugh and cringe (and some teachers cry). Most recently, a late-night crew asked individuals how they were voting AFTER the election. In other words, the folks were not aware that election day had passed. 02/05/2025 05:26 AM
