ALL american news stations make me want to puke!
No.. I'll rephrase that... If I bought some very dark sunglasses and ear defenders, I'd be OK.
What is it with their sets, graphics etc? They replicate how the anchors and reporters speak. LOUDly
Ouch!
Everywhere I go, and the subject of news comes up, without hesitation most people say they prefer BBC America news (aka BBC World Opt-ins). They're not just being polite to me because of my accent, they genuinely think the BBC tells the news as it really is, unlike CNN etc who barely touch a story if Americans aren't involved.
They also prefer the reporting style and presentation. BBC America (erm World) isn't in your face shouting at you to pay them some attention
I'll shut up now, heading into work, so have to put on a completely different hat now!
(edit) Oh, I forgot... I was speaking to a retired transmitter engineer, who was telling me before "all this new fangled digital equipment" was installed, they were forever having to re-align the audio circuits after the news was broadcast because the Ops at the station would push the signals too high
Kinda says it all really
