Shocking, bizarre, riveting, bleah

I love it when a news organization tells me how to feel about a story. “In a shocking twist to an already bizarre and riveting mystery…” I don’t even want to open the story link any more. I wasn’t riveted, but I was a little curious.

During my commute, I often listen to CNN. In the morning it is Soledad O’Brien and Miles O’Brien (that’s a lot of Brien!). They react to stories but not like in the evening with Lou Dobbs, who always has to slip his commentary in; and Wolf Blitzer, who likes to add unnecessary words (Shocking!) and ad copy into his broadcast. Maybe Wolf was told to be more emotional since he’s so monotone.
