[lbo-talk] the 50-word story

[Patrick Bond]

Sounds like standard radio news stories. Even Pacifica rarely opened up more 
than 3 min/story when I reported for them 15 years ago. I remember being in 
a Capitol Hill studio during the Jim Wright paranha feed with the wire 
reporters and one (from AP, I think) loudly advertised his little thrill: "I 
got space for two actualities!" (soundbites) Everyone looked at him in awe.
