You totally forgot Ric Romero: LA, 2005, Blogging is the latest craze. "Hey, uh listen there Ric [sic], ratings are down a bit this month to channel 7. Lets get you into this 'blog-ing' thing I'm hearin' so much about. Seems like that's our way to connect with the folks out there. We must keep local news relevant!"
