[speaker001:] Okay, what, um, do you watch much T V or, you know.
[speaker002:] Um, no, I don't watch much T V. Sometimes, um, usually the reason I will turn it on is to hear the news.
[speaker001:] The news, yeah.
[speaker002:] But I don't think of that every day, even.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] Um, I think I get most of my current events, well, I get them from everywhere. I sometimes watch T V if I, I guess I watch T V if I haven't read the paper that day. We don't get a paper but I work, um, at a, I teach a college class and, uh
[speaker001:] Oh, uh-huh.
[speaker002:] there's a, the library has a paper. And so I often drop in on a break and
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] and read it. And I keep the radio on quite a bit when I'm home.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] And then I, I figure if there's big, big news, I'll hear it from my husband when he gets home or,
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] someone else, you know.
[speaker001:] Yeah, yeah. Now I also, I get it from all over. I watch the news every day, and I ha-, we have a news, you know, we get the newspaper, and, uh
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] um, magazines, an-, anything. You know, I'm, I read a lot, so I get, um, you know, I'm, I'm really up on, uh, current affairs. I get, you know
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] the news and, and everything.
[speaker002:] Yeah, what's your favorite news, do you get a news magazine or,
[speaker001:] Um, well, I'm not getting an-, no, I'm not getting any news magazines
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] but, um, you know, as, as I said, I do, it's, uh, it's easy to keep up on current event-, you know
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] on cert-,
[speaker002:] Yeah, we've got.
[speaker001:] you know, especially when you, um
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] you know, you get a paper every day.
[speaker002:] Yeah, yeah, exactly.
[speaker001:] And, uh.
[speaker002:] Are you satisfied with the quality of coverage?
[speaker001:] Uh, I don't know [LAUGHTER]. Is there anything missing? I, you know, [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Yeah, it's kind of hard to know.
[speaker001:] And I don't know, you know, what, what's, I mean, what are we supposed to, uh, compare it to [LAUGHTER]
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] you know, I mean, the quality, uh, whatever they tell you, you know, I, uh, [inhaling] I guess I, I, you know, I'm satisfied. I mean, I, uh, you know, they, they're supposedly covering everything that happens, so [LAUGHTER]
[speaker002:] Yeah, yeah.
[speaker001:] you know.
[speaker002:] Well, I do feel like, a little bit like, being from California and wanting to hear like I've heard through the grapevine sometimes that there's been an earthquake or sliding or something, and
[speaker001:] Oh, really?
[speaker002:] I don't ever hear it in the news here.
[speaker001:] Oh.
[speaker002:] Um.
[speaker001:] Well, uh, sometimes it's such a, you know, it's, it's so, um, slight, you know like
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] the tremors are so slight that they don't even bother putting it in the
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] paper. But most of the ti-, the times I find that even if there are, you know, they do have like tremors out there, you know, there'll be a small article in the paper about it.
[speaker002:] Yeah
[speaker001:] But, uh.
[speaker002:] yeah, yeah. I sometimes feel like, um, the Dallas paper and the DALLAS NEWS, um, the top headlines are always a murder, you know.
[speaker001:] Oh, well.
[speaker002:] That
[speaker001:] That's what sells papers.
[speaker002:] that's because there's a high crime rate. Yeah.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] That's, um, that's been like that since they, the first newspaper, you know [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Yeah, yeah, I'm sure.
[speaker001:] You know, but, um, I don't know. I, I guess I'm satisfied, I don't, uh.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] I mean, what basis, you know, of comparison do we have really?
[speaker002:] Yeah, really.
[speaker001:] We don't get a, you know.
[speaker002:] That's true. We certainly get enough coverage. I mean, we, we can get news, you know, I mean, there's even the C N N channel
[speaker001:] Oh, yeah, I was going to.
[speaker002:] where we can get world news twenty-four hours a day.
[speaker001:] Sure, yeah. Sometimes you don't even want to be bothered with the news because it's all so bad [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Yeah [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] It's all so negative, you know.
[speaker002:] Yeah, often times.
[speaker001:] But.
[speaker002:] So. Yeah.
[speaker001:] Well, we have to keep talking, I guess [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Well, no, I guess we can end.
[speaker001:] Oh.
[speaker002:] Yeah, it's just whenever we're, um.
[speaker001:] Oh, is it really?
[speaker002:] Yeah. Have you always gone until the recording?
[speaker001:] Well, yeah, I don't, I don't, uh, [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Uh-huh. I guess we're not supposed to [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] I don't know, we're sup-,
[speaker002:] .
[speaker001:] I guess we're supposed to wait or [LAUGHTER]
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] I don't know.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] Becau-, I, you know, like one, uh, well, was it last week, we were supposed to talk about gardening
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] uh, [LAUGHTER] and it was really funny, I, I, I mixed it, made the call, and it happened to be my friend who lives [LAUGHTER] a few blocks away.
[speaker002:] Oh, really.
[speaker001:] Yeah, and it was really. We were laughing, I mean. But, you know, we don't really do any gardening, so like, that took like a minute
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] and then we just talked about, you know, whatever, I mean.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Interesting. Yeah.
[speaker001:] You know, I mean, some topics, really now, you know, now, this topic, this is, I mean, there really isn't much to say after [LAUGHTER]
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] you know, you, uh, you know, you, you tell the person what, uh, news there, uh, you know, where their, where they find their sources of information from
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] and then, you know, if it's, uh, if they're satisfied, and that's about it, really.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] It's hard to talk for five minutes on this [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Yeah [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] So, um.
[speaker002:] Yeah. Well, I guess I can just say I, it bothers me that I hear a lot about, um, you know, on the news that, well, it seems like, I don't know, some things are sensationalized or some things are, um, you know, you'll hear one report and then you'll hear that it, you know, they didn't, um.
