So this is going to be a bit of a rant but I promise to keep it short. This particular rant has to do when the evening news. I watch it, I like to stay informed. But I have to ask, when did this annoying habit of newscasters laughing and flirting with each other develop? I hate it. I want to watch the news, not two people who probably hate each other trade witty repartee. I didn't ask for your opinion and I don't want to watch senseless banter. If I did, I'd be watching 'Will and Grace' not the evening news. I long for the good old days when news was unbiased and newscasters were somber reporters of daily events, not pedantic and trite. The days when newscasters could be dependent upon to be honest and trustworthy and not necessarily chosen for their Hollywood good looks.

So here's to you Peter Jennings, a nation turns it's lonely eyes to you, whoo-whoo-whoo
Where have you gone Ted Koppel? Everyone has left and gone away, yeah yeah yeah

So in the immortal words of Edward R. Muro (another one of the greats)...
Good night and Good luck

Blame the slow witted t.v. viewers that need to be entertained on a daily basis. I too could do without the light hearted banter that I have noticed being embraced by my local news stations. Just give me the news and nothing but. Darn it...... now I can't get that bloody song out of my head-smack smack.

You said it sister! I'm glad there's someone out there that feels my pain.
