What Are The Differences Between Born Blind & Becoming Blind?

Tommy Edison (previously) routinely makes videos to answer questions about what it's like to be blind. Some things he doesn't know, because he hasn't experienced them, like vision. Christine Ha (previously), on the other hand, went blind later in life. Here they discuss their experiences.

There's a big difference between the two. Once you know what sight is like, you can miss it terribly. But you can remember it, too. Also notice the difference in how they use their eyes. Edison keeps his shut just about all the time, while Ha is very aware of what she looks like on camera and what it means to follow someone's eye gaze, even when you know it's not working.  -via Laughing Squid

... "It was time them to call “Do over!”

I think you accidentally a word there. :-P

Apparently that station's error-prone ways are contagious. Lulz.

We just had a local weather guy pull a wonderful line out this morning. "It's going to be light, as opposed to something heavy." Which is better than opposed to something green or fish or John Adams.

Local news is the best.

All I can think of is that this wouldn't have happened under Ron Burgundy's watch. This clip would have stayed classy all the way through if he was still with them.

I live in San Diego. Believe me, this isn't out of the norm for this newscast.

The independent (non-network affiliate) newscasts have higher ratings. Although the FOX affiliate is a close runner up to the KUSI-51 (independent) juggernaut.
