-understands GP
-portrays FIRST in nothing but positive light
-can hold his own in a conversation about the IR technology

(That clip ran on the Friday evening news, with footage of Friday practice day)
On the Fox site it says "tech guy" Brett Larsen, at least that station has someone who does technology reports and obviously it shows in his work....really good piece! If only every station could afford "beat" reporters it would help.
