I just have to get this said:

I am so tired of the way the local on the street news people here in the Denver area report the news lately.

They use a sanctimonious tone of voice and every sentence ends with a particularly condescending note to it.

But lately, they have also started to do this thing where the voice over says a sentence, and then the person in the video says one sentence, and then the voice over makes another statement, and so on. It just drives me nuts because it's like talking to two people who alternate sentences and neither one of them can provide a full thought. Plus, the news person's words are put together to be clever and provocative to hold our interest and perhaps amuse us.

Example:

News voice over: "Sue went for a bike ride and came back to a big suuuur-priiize."

Homeowner looking at flood damage: "It was a big wood deck and now it's completely gone."

Voice over: "The flood took Sue's deck down the street, but Sue says it will be okaaaaaaaaay."

Homeowner: "I don't have flood insurance but all the neighbors here pull together when something like this happens."

Fortunately the real news that I care about: weather, forest fires, most politics, is handled by anchor people who haven't sunk this far yet.
