What I mean is ... it is so annoying when I watch the news, and every time the "Now back to Bill in the studio" occurs, Bill makes some stupid comment about the previous story, and all of the news anchors laugh as if what was said was actually funny. Most of the time, it is so not funny, that it is tragic.
My wife disagrees, and says that the silliness adds personality to the broadcast.
I have resorted to only watching the BBC (I am in the USA, but most of the news comes from here anyway - even on the BBC).
If I watch the local news, I switch channels the first time that some idiot say "Weather lady, can you turn off the rain today, little Billy's T-ball team will need to swim around the bases tonight if you don't hahahahahahahaha." That is NOT funny, and it has nothing to do with the news.
To make it worse, there is always a my kid is the greatest dig, as if it is the middle school PTA luncheon.
"Well, weather lady, you know Billy's 4 year old team IS undefeated."
Watch the news and tell me what you think.
