This is a really cute piece, unfortunately the audio is atrocious. That's a shame. The actual clips from the evening news are breathtaking in their idiocy and they do everything they are supposed to do to make the commentator's point. But you can barely hear them. The voice tracks have a freshness and they sound real, like you're sitting with this guy at a bar or a party and he's just raving about how stupid the local news is. He does go on a little too long and it starts to sound like an Open-Mic Night routine ("Hey, the evening news, what's with THAT?!") after a while. But overall, this seems like a good first draft.
