Most Annoying Anchors Ever
I'm talking about cable news networks with Tap, and it reminded me of my long-standing dislike of Nancy Grace.
It probably all started when she interviewed Elizabeth Smart on her show and asked the most inappropriate questions you can possibly think of asking a kidnapping survivor. I'm not kidding when one of the questions was related to how wearing a burkha feels. Elizabeth Smart was completely classy and shut her down. Watch the video below for the hilarity:
I also really dislike the fact how she acts like she's the "bad cop" interrogator when interviewing the parents of missing kids. And ugh, her coverage of the fifth anniversary of 9/11 was cringe-inducing. Her voice was just DRIPPING of this treacly, fake sincerity...it was too much to take. It was as bad as Glenn Beck introducing his 9/12 project.
Recently, at work I've enjoyed listening to news clips. That's when I realized I have a new anchor to dislike, maybe even more than Nancy Grace:

Ok, first, that haircut? Tragic. Second, I can barely get through any video this woman does because of her voice. Is it not the most annoying voice ever? I can even tolerate Nancy Grace better. But Jane Velez-Mitchell seems to ENUNCIATE and SCREAM every third WORD for you so you MAKE SURE that you UNDERSTAND that she CARES what she TALKS ABOUT.
Ah, journalistic integrity on headline news channels. It's all crap.

As for that Jane person...oh good Lord. Hahahaha.
The anchors over there are all about dramatic effects, aren't they? When I was there in October last year, I watched Entertainment Tonight while eating breakfast and for like 25 minutes the damn anchors kept promising "exclusive" news about Jennifer Hudson's family murders. Every few minutes they would offer snippets in a grim tone, "Coming up, what Barack Obama had to say to Jennifer" or, "Later -- what Jennifer once said of her mother" or some shit like that, which were quickly followed by, "But first, Paris Hilton's dog!!!" in the cheeriest tone you can imagine. I exclaimed "WTF" at the TV a few times. Nothing like somebody's sad story to make the jerks happy!
You know, it's so funny you bring that up. Do you have The Soup over there? They make fun of exactly what you are talking about! Inside Edition is the worst, they always have the most dramatic voiceovers and then cut to the stupidest thing.
