On Tuesday, JR on KTSA was complaining about the latest national outrage about those high school girls who made a 'pregnancy pact' and how immoral it was and so on and so forth. But he never bothered to recall a story that he covered on his show earlier this year when our own town made the frontpage headline with the highest teen pregnancy rate not only in Texas, but in the entire country. He never tied in the local angle to this current 'topic of the day' or bothered to compare the annual pregnancy rates at not only our local high schools, but our middle schools, too (just ask a pediatric ER nurse)! Never bothered to mention that we also have the lowest graduation and highest dropout rates and how that ties in with teen pregnancy. Was he simply obeying orders from upstairs to avoid upsetting those with cultural sensitivites or was it just 'punch in, do the shift and punch out'? It seems to me that his shows aren't that interesting anymore. Merely a rehash of whatever is on the frontpage of the morning paper that was printed yesterday or what was on the cable news channels the night before. Seems like we can't get anyone discussing whats going here locally. There's plenty of scandals, shams and other juicy topics, like the toll road saga, playground inspection scam, term limit buffoonery, etc. But I guess he's just doing his job.
