quick takes: 7 news - 11/5/2009 40 points

dave kartunen - a relatively quack-free delivery of the overview of the ft. hood shooting on the initial break from the obama press conference.  (10 points)


matt lorch - boston tv's leading adam sandler buff does a pretty good  "poor man's john king" with a digital map of the fort hood area.  (15 points)

byron barnett - byron's on the scene in belmont with the terrible story of an 18 year old girl taking a short cut across the tracks and getting hit by the commuter rail.  

ryan schulteis - also in belmont with an interview with the girl's neighbor.  sort of an odd editing choice to have the interview open with neighbor saying "she was a beautiful, asian girl."  maybe it's just me. (-5 points)

frances rivera - the fine filipino is in leather.  her white blouse is ruffled.  frances is also a bit ruffled as she fumbles badly on the hand off of the david krejci swine flu story to joe amorosino.  thankfully, joe does not fly into a rage.  (0 points)
 
nicole oliverio - did the cupcake have a late night last night?  good for her. (35 points)

7 news - you're just showing the video of the russian forklift driver destroying $170k worth of vodka now?  that clip has already made the rounds. i'll bet even the 'cvb golden girls have shown it.  (- 15 unhip points)
