Bill and Nancy

I spent some time watching a bit of news and stumbled upon a fantastic anchor by the name of Nancy Grace. I found myself immediately entertained by her keen ability to ask mind numbingly pointless questions to her guests. http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/crime/2010/03/19/ng.aruba.possible.skeleton.cnn This talent is surpassed only by her bossy southern mother speaking style and her show's true lack of organization. Her story topics tend to revolve around family tragedys and scandals. I feel that her show's audience is comprised of the same type of person that might reach for the National Enquirer at the local grocery store. She seems to report the news with more of a (this is my opinion) type of way although I wouldn't call it an opinion show. Another anchor I watched was Bill O'reilly. He is pretty conservative and admits just that. His show concentrates on political matters and he often has a variety of political guests as well as other guests who work for Fox. No issue on the show is presented in a balanced way and everything has a spin leaving me to question the whole "no spin zone" thing. Again, the show is rather entertaining to watch but you don't really ever get the whole story. He is known to yell a lot, cut of guests in mid sentence, and generally controls all conversations on the show. He doesn't really seem to side with any particular presidential candidates and is very good at making sure that in any situation he'll be able to talk about what was wrong with something. That's just good journalism appearantly. All in all I think that both of these anchors could take some cues from one Anderson Cooper if they plan on "reporting" news and if entertainment is the idea than let's leave it to Stewart and Cobert. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wgkha9o6_Y
