Re: When it becomes a "show."

["Joseph Pappalardo" <joepappalardo2001@yahoo.com>]

The graphics, music, slide and marquee name bug me when they cover incidents
like this.

Actually, I don't mind them 'naming' the coverage or the slide...or the
music...what really makes me uncofortable is the off-screen
announcer..."AMERICA UNDER ATTACK...Now here's correspondent Diane Sawyer!"

Even the WBZ Promo 'big voice' liner guy is doing these hokey
introductions....
