C-o-o-o-o-l
I get a lot of "news" from CNN via my Ipad. Some of the video news elements are a real testament to what the "news" has become. We can just disregard that they stretch pretty far to find newsworthy items to report. That is a given in the Internet world. But when the newscasters LOOK like adults, but talk like teenagers, I begin to wonder at their competency.
For example, I was watching a video clip about the comet ISON. The young meteorologist giving the report must have used the word "cool" about 15 times during her broadcast. If the reporter, self-proclaimed as educated to some extent in astronomy, can only use the word "cool" to describe a natural phenomenon, I wonder at her overall capability.
If I am made to wonder about the story's veracity due to the childish presentation of the "facts", what other information has been distorted that I am just missing? Houston, I think we have a problem.
