Media rants

Two things:

1) Will the news media please stop telling me that someone in the hospital is in "stable" condition. As in "Bilbo Baggins is in stable condition at Moses Cone Hospital." Stable is NOT a condition to be used in a news story. You can be in intensive care and be stable or you can be in "good" condition and be stable. If Bilbo is damn near dead, tell me that. If Bilbo is going to be treated and released, tell me that. Telling me he's in "stable" condition tells me nothing at all. Didn't your journalism professors ever tell you this?

2) This is directed at AJ on WOZN (The Zone). If you're going to insist on interviewing people during your afternoon drive show, I suggest you learn how to interview someone. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO WHAT YOUR GUEST IS SAYING! I can't stand the way you are constantly interrupting them. Not only does it show that you are unprepared, it's just plain rude. Air-check your interviews sometime will ya?

Rant over. Carry on.
