When you watch the news, you get something juicy but just get a bit of it. The highlights were shown and then the trying-to-be-funny newscaster will tell you to watch the full story on his show later on this day and time. Don't you just find it kind of funny that the news has become a place to advertise another show?
The other funny thing is... okay, you took note of the day and date and you sit down and watch the full story. But you end up getting no more than just additional information that were not as juicy as you expected, or not as juicy as they portrayed it would be in the news teaser.
Funny how it again becomes just like any movie trailers. They show you those funniest highlights as teasers, and when you go to see the movie, you find out that what they showed on the trailer is just it. No other thing.
This takes me back when I was younger and the only channel available where we live is RPN channel 9. The news was exactly at 6:00 pm and it was just for 30 minutes. But you get what you deserved with that full 30 minutes. Nowadays, it's a little short of an hour with extensive commercial breaks, and a teaser that's not a teaser at all. Because the teaser is already the story.
