I also think it’s kind of silly to think someone living in Atlanta has a drastically different perspective on things.
You’re probably right that I’m giving them too much credit; however, every behind the news clip always shows the anchors playing an important part, alongside their producers, in choosing and solidifying the rundown.
As for Atlanta - I’m not saying there’s anything special about it. It’s simply not NY or DC. During the peak-Zucker years Fred’s output felt drastically different than any other Newsroom. Maybe it’s just correlation that the Atlanta output seemed better than NY or DC, not causation.
