Our channel was the first to show it

Again FZ wraps up this mentality of TV news channels quite appropriately in 'Trouble Every Day' (which was written after the Watts riots in the sixties, but is relevant to any riot - the current one being the Gurgaon one - read the previous post).

From checkin’ out the way
The newsmen say they get the dirt
Before the guys on channel so and so
And further they assert
That any show they litter up
They bring you news if it comes up
They say that if the place blows up
They will be the first to tell
Cause the boys they got downtown
Working hard and doin swell
And if anybody gets the news
Before it hits the streets
They say that no one blams it faster
Their coverage can’t be beat

Universal truth - TV news channels are a waste. Dont see or beleive anything thats shown there. Go ahead and DO something better.
