An example which proves this rule is Battlebots, where the producers understood from the start that it was the quirky inventors/team leaders who were the stars of the show.

The 9 people on the Witch Doctor team standing around their flat, 4-wheeled bot, all wearing black skeleton t-shirts and decorated top hats with green and purple accents. They all have their arms up aimed at the camera wiggling their fingers to cast a voodoo spell on you. At center are Andrea Gellatly and her husband Mike who run the team.

I always thought history was an important component of a journalism degree, but with a few exceptions like Ann, I'm just not seeing much application of it in our current mainstream media.

I just spoke at Leisure World (retirement community) in Seal Beach, and the grandmas are out for blood. Loudest round of applause I got was when I said “a lot of these problems will take generations to fix, but one thing we can do right away is hold everyone in this administration accountable”
