[speaker002:] okay what um do you watch much TV or you know
[speaker001:] um no I don't watch much TV sometimes um usually the reason I will turn it on is to hear the news but I don't think of that every day even
[speaker002:] the news yeah uh-huh
[speaker001:] um I think I get most of my current events well I get them from everywhere I sometimes watch TV if I I guess I watch TV if I haven't read the paper that day we don't get a paper but I work um at a I teach college class and uh there's a the library has a paper and so I often drop in on a break and
[speaker002:] oh uh-huh yeah
[speaker001:] and read it and then I keep the radio on quite a bit when I'm home
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] and then I I figure if there's big big news I'll hear it from my husband when he gets home or someone else you know
[speaker002:] yeah yeah now I also I get it from all over I watch the news every day and I have we have a news you know we get the newspaper and uh
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] um magazines anything 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
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] the news and and everything
[speaker001:] yeah what's your favorite news do you do you get a news magazine or
[speaker002:] um well I'm not getting any no I'm not getting any news magazines but um
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] you know as as I said I do uh it's uh it's easy to keep up on current events you know on certainly you know especially when you um you know you get a paper every day
[speaker001:] yeah yeah we've got yeah
[speaker002:] and uh
[speaker001:] yeah exactly are you satisfied with the quality of coverage
[speaker002:] uh I don't know is there anything missing I you know I
[speaker001:] yeah it's kind of hard to know isn't it
[speaker002:] and I don't know you know what what's I mean what are we supposed to uh compare it to you know I mean the quality uh
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] whatever they tell you you know I uh I guess I'm uh I you know I'm satisfied I mean I uh you you you know they're they're supposedly covering everything that happens so you know
[speaker001:] yeah yeah 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 I don't ever hear it in the news here you know it's um
[speaker002:] oh really oh well uh sometimes it's such a you know it's it's so um slight you know like the tremors are so slight that they don't even bother putting it in the
[speaker001:] yeah yeah
[speaker002:] paper but most of the time the times I find that even if there are you know they do have like tremors out there uh you know there'll be a small article in the paper about it
[speaker001:] yeah yeah
[speaker002:] but um
[speaker001:] yeah I sometimes feel like um the Dallas paper and the Dallas News um the top headlines are always a murder you know and that's because there's a high crime rate yeah
[speaker002:] oh well that's what sells papers
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] that's um that's been like that since they the first newspaper you know
[speaker001:] yeah yeah I'm sure
[speaker002:] you know but um I don't know I I guess I'm satisfied I don't uh
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] I mean what basis you know of comparison do we have really we don't get a you know
[speaker001:] yeah really that's true we certainly get enough coverage I mean we we we can get news you know I mean there's even the C N N channel where we can get world news twenty four hours a day so
[speaker002:] oh yeah I was gonna sure yeah sometimes you don't even want to be bothered with the news because it's all so bad
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] it's all so negative you know
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] but
[speaker001:] often times so yeah
[speaker002:] well we have to keep talking I guess
[speaker001:] well no I guess we can end yeah it's just whenever we're
[speaker002:] oh oh is it really
[speaker001:] um yeah have you always gone until the recording
[speaker002:] well yeah I don't I don't uh
[speaker001:] uh-huh oops I guess we're not supposed to
[speaker002:] I don't know we're supposed I guess we're supposed to wait or
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] I don't know
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] cause I you know like one well was it last week we were supposed to talk about gardening
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] uh and it was really funny I I I mixed it made the call and it happened to be my friend who lives a few blocks away
[speaker001:] oh really it just
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] and then we just talked about you know whatever I mean
[speaker001:] uh-huh interesting yeah
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] you know you uh you know you you tell a person what uh news their a you know where their where they find their sources of of information from and then you know if if it's uh if they're satisfied and that's about it really
[speaker001:] yeah um-hum
[speaker002:] it's hard to talk for five minutes on this
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] so um
[speaker001:] yeah well I guess I can just say I uh 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
