I watch because it seems the most local, friendly and digestible first thing in the morning, but many of them make mistakes all the time and a female newscaster that always struck me as bored did this:
I don't have an issue with that particular reporter and funny you posted this as I was just thinking how another local reporter became Cannot Watch Anymore status.
Debra Morgan now joins Elizabeth Gardener and ABC's Akilah Davis to the Turn The Channel As Soon As I See Them List. I have an already low tolerance for chuckleheads and dumbed-down between-story banter, either she is doing it more or I'm noticing it more but Morgan has become unwatchable recently. For me anyway, but I'm a curmodgeon.
Finally checked out Bryan Mims after reading how people here don't seem to care for, him, and I can see why, he has an over-affected delivery and choice of emphasis not unlike Annoying NPR Announcer Lady With The Silken Voice.
There are a few newscasters I like however. But don't get me started on David Muir, who takes the cake as the country's drama queen. Talk about Crying Wolf.....
They had a lady who left last year for the mid west she was good i already forgot her name.
My wife and I were arguing about this.
Thesis: The A team is the crew doing the weekday morning and evening broadcast. Lower teams can sub in.
For WRAL I would say
Bill Leslie
Renee Chu(?)
Elizabeth
Brian the traffic guy
Deberah Morgan
The black guy forgot his name
=========================
Let me assist you:
Bill Leslie
Renee Chu(?) = Renee Chou
Elizabeth Gardner
Brian the traffic guy = Brian Shrader
Deberah Morgan = Debra Morgan
The black guy forgot his name = Gerald Owens
I remember the "******* the chicken" one, I saw that live.
I also saw the lady flash her boobs on the Today Show live, and will never forget the look on Matt Lauer's face (in retrospect, he probably got her number later).
Also remember Sue Simmons dropping the F-Bomb on Chuck Scarborough during a tease she didn't realize was live. Always loved those two.
