No, it isn't. Generally local TV reporters have very little background knowledge on the subject they're interviewing someone on. Their interpretation often reflects that. It got to the point I'd always script what I wanted to concentrate on before an interview so that my 15 second sound bite was accurate to the story, instead of a reporter trying to condense a 10 minute interview into their soundbite. Heh, I did this , as I said, many hundreds of times of times over the years, plus numerous radio interviews and shows on both. My newspaper clippings alone are three binders totaling more than 12 inches thick. I speak from experience, not theory. The only reporters that were 'fairly' accurate were the political beat newspaper reporters that were regulars for the subject. The local TV reporters were nowhere near that level of expertise.
Just like your columns on TPI. You're very knowledgeable about theme parks, thus your stories are basically quite accurate. You're kind of like those newspaper beat reporters from the past. But some nickel and dime 'influencer' that has little theme park background, writes a lot of click bait. Same happens with local TV. They run a reporter out for a number of stories to cover, and they don't really have the time or resources to deliver an accurate report, unless their source is someone like
@Alicia in the case of theme parks, or a company press release. Probably one reason they use her so often in Orlando.
