Game On: In the spring of 1988, I was work-ing in radio news in Washington, D.C., and often the editor on the desk at the time would send reporters out into the street to get comment on the "issue of the morning." In the business, this pointless, time-filling and uninformative exercise is called the "man on the street" interview, but it has also been termed by some old-timers as a "Triple A"--"Ask Any Asshole." The "Triple A" never produces any news; aside from filling up a space in a newscast that could ostensibly be used for real news, its sole purpose is to get the people interviewed to listen to your radio station. | Political Animal by Brian Morton
