A Funny and Poingnient life of a Local TV Newsman.

I lived thru so many of the stories that Mike related here and seeing those stories from the perspective of the guy who was reporting those events. Hearing his personel experiences while doing his job that never made it on air was a treat. I thourally enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who wants to pull back the curtains of local TV Journalism and hear the real stories of how the new gets reported.
