affiliates or the a.b.c. affiliates it's everybody it's n.b.c. affiliates fox affiliates so all of these stations appear to be kind of unique which is why as a viewer it might be hard to detect that what you're seeing on t.v. which by the way is being read to you by the local news anchor that you know and see every night on the news that it's actually part of a broader national effort and bill when when you look at this story and you look at t.v. news in general in the us i mean what would you say what is the state of t.v. news in the us tonight. oh it's going through a ripple effect i think the shock waves from this i'm glad that it's finally made it into the national conversation it's an old story it's been around at least a year but now i think it's getting some global attention thanks to organizations like that to bella but i think one of the things that's important and i think how is beginning to help us understand that local television news anchors in america are trusted even they can they touch their touchstones they're at the national par
