Local News.......snooooze

Local news programs are something fierce.......fiercely annoying. Out of all the places I've lived and been the only interesting nightly news I've come across was in New York City. But anything that happens there is exciting so that's not really fair. The women anchors need to be more creative than a power suit and should loose the neck jewelry. Speak to me like a person and not some poor imitation of your male co-anchor and what is that snobby twinkle they always have in their eye? I am constantly bombarded with commercials for helicopters and Doppler Radars as if I've never seen a news team with one in my life and should set to TIVO pronto to check out this magic of which they speak of. The promo for my news tonight included a story of which to warn us that Oklahoma is not only prone to tornadoes but also earthquakes with the graphic in the back being the state of Oklahoma breaking in two, and also a stunning human interest piece about "Awake Lipo." What am I supposed to say to myself? "MMMM can't wait!I'm sure I'm gonna go to bed with thoughts of sugar plum fairies and gum drops." News is useful for weather and for tuning in if you are gonna be on it.....because who doesn't wanna see themselves waving like a maniac from behind the shoulder of a reporter doing a story on location.
