....and doing it with smug certitude. I've noticed a trend over the past 5 years or so with our local stations....3 or them. The talking heads have gradually gotten more aesthetically difficult to look at (body positivity doncha know?... more obesity etc.), more inarticulate, and simply difficult to listen to. A couple of weather gal here sounds like a nasal chainsaw, and a couple of female "reporters" have such droning delivery that they sound like monotone zombies.

And they apparently NEVER read the script beforehand, they are always just winging it, and the mispronunciations are quite hilarious at times. One talking head was reporting on some stray sheep that had gotten onto a highway, and a ewe (female sheep) had to be put down. She pronounced ewe as EE-WEE. I thought my wife and I were going to fall out of bed laughing. To this day, when we pass a flock of sheep out in our rural areas, we always say, "Look out for the EE-WEEs!"
