A human reading the teleprompter news boringly and with a straight face tuned me off even in the hay days of nightly news. Why can't anyone figure out producing just a brief video reel of 30 mins documentary style every 3 hours to give the latest news that beats the internet news? I am sure AI can do that. A documentary style summary news of national, local and international (separate) will have a high value.

And the situation was scarier back then with more unrest in the streets and a higher probability of nuclear war with the USSR. The news was just not in the business of fear mongering in the 60's.
