I kid you not, they have robots now that will generate coverage for the Rio Olympics in real time.
If all you need is to report the facts to the people the robots will be fine, but what is going to be responsible for introducing that all important left wing slant into the stories? Is it possible to program that in?
I've always said that the best way to run a news organization would be to hire kids out of high school, train them in the basics, and let them do the job of when where what who and why. To Hell with these goddamned J school grads who think they have to change the world.
Maybe robots are an even better idea.
