Earl epitomized the side of TV news that was all in for the "Happy Talk" style of presentation - besides being all about him (with his pompous delivery, loud jackets, bow-tie and coiffed "Jew-fro"), such newscasts placed huge emphasis on fire, crime, sex, tear-jerkers, *animal stories* and an obsession with the occult - often (and especially) at the expense of the kind of national and international stories Floyd (the old-style traditionalist in the Cronkite mold) championed. Earl's retort to Floyd after the latter chewed the former out on his "dog fetish" seemed reminiscent of the dismissive attitude of KGO-TV general manager Russ Coughlan when he was grilled by Mike Wallace for a "60 Minutes" piece on the local TV news ratings war in San Francisco in 1974 at: kzitem.info/news/bejne/spyryqCPpKx5pKA for which I quote: "When do we have to dwell on the problems of the Middle East over and over and over again? When do we have to dwell on the Cambodian situation over and over again, when there is other news going around? Isn't fire, crime and sex news?" If he were at SCTV, I can imagine Coughlan saying, "When do we have to dwell on all the earthquakes in Togo over and over again?"
