Reply #80: Since corporate media has morphed into a banter & kaffeeklatsch mentality [View All]

they GUARANTEED that this sort of thing would happen..and it did and it does and it will..

They were looking for ways to make the audience feel like they were part of the "conversation"..like they were at the table with the on-air "talent"..

CNN even circulated a memo a while back ENCOURAGING the prompter-readers to USE "street language" and slang...to draw in the young'uns..

the so-called "news venues" don't DO news.. they do SHOWS..where the hosts & host-ettes ARE the show...their personalities & their double-entendre patter is the biggest part of their "shows"..if news accidentally gets imparted in the process, that's just an oversight..

If they were serious about showing us the news, we would see "real-looking" news-people sitting at desks, just telling us what happened.. they would not be yukking it up, chatting each other up, and overtly flirting and playfully dissing each other..

They WANT the shock-radio material, but they also want it SEEN...and yet they pretend it's "news"..
