Funny stuff. Television news anchors in default mode: their natural state.

Anyway, in real life, I can always tell if there were news that day by looking at the tabloids. If they have different scoops on the front page, nothing worthy of my attention has happened.

(Note, however, that if the tabloids' front pages have the same headline, that doesn't automatically mean that something newsworthy has happened!)

Looking at the people who present the news make me aware of the fact that it is often a man/woman combination with the objective to make news more interesting.
More interesting? Does so called news presented by a man differ from the same
news presented by a woman??? Or is it just show(wo)manship.
We have got a newsprogram on Dutch TV called "Hart van Nederland" (transl: Heart of the Netherlands)
Two bubble headed bleach blond girls present news like:
Parrot escaped from zoo; brown horse gave birth to black pony; city bus in Groningen got 2 flat tires and such.
Dum, dum, dum

I never noticed they were saying anything, I was just looking at their, um, you know, intelligent eyes
