Weekend News....Why?


If the folks at Quincy are really serious about cutting costs and enhancing their image in the market, the Maven would like to suggest cancelling their 21Alive weekend newscasts. 

A couple of things from today: The bright, cheery anchor-ette telling us that losing 350 jobs in Indy will, "completely cripple" the central Indiana economy. Now, the loss of that many jobs to Mexico is a shock, but our cute anchor-ette might want to find a more appropriate word. No, "devastate, demolish, destroy" are not acceptable, either. 

And the giggle-fest continued as the weather reporter-ette chuckled along about how yesterday's power outage at Glenbrook had impacted the shopping patterns for both of them. 

Then they wrapped up with the weather reporter-ette confusing a Hunters Moon with a Harvest Moon.....and which one we were having this weekend. 

Making salads at Pizza Hut must have been too challenging.

    I've also noticed this over-abundance of ebullience with certain news stories.
    I'd much rather have someone who can properly emote to a given story.
    Maybe all that Starbucks is getting to their young minds a little TOO well?

    Good call.
    Stay safe out there.
