Well, I expected more discussion of the CBS news story by now, but maybe
most people missed it. Fortunately, we were watching the news Friday
evening, and caught it. Unfortunately, I didn't think to start the tape
running til part way through.
Overall impressions: very positive piece, short on specifics, but long on
cuteness. Pictures of ferrets licking an arm, napping on a knee, bouncing
about carrying an empty pint ice cream carton, emerging from dryer hose.
Some of the narration was marvelous: John Blackstone talked about the fear
of endangering wildlife while a ferret yawned mightily. He showed pictures
of "Californians breaking the law"--a smiling toddler with a ferret on her
lap. There was no mention of rabies or baby-killing.
In a bit of fitting irony, Paula Zahn was anchoring the news, and introduced
the story. If I recall correctly, she anchored the infamously inflammatory
anti-ferret CSB morning show in May 1995.
I hope someone who caught the whole thing on tape will be able to provide us
with a transcript.
