TV news italics
I was just watching TV news, and the reporter said in a very dramatic tone that the city of Turlock (south of here, with a population of about 55,000 -- just smaller than Lodi) had "already set aside $80,000" to fight a lawsuit.I'm sorry, but until the city of Turlock puts $6 million into a lawsuit, then borrows another $16 million from Wall Street, dramatic vocal italics are not warranted. As far as I know, not one area TV news show has covered the legal drama in Lodi. I guess they can't add up the dollars, or if they can, maybe they realized that 30 seconds of dramatic news just won't capture it.
