I don't like that American tv news format where the presenter is all psyched and there is this stupid mini-build-up/intro to a clip that is only short anyway, so doesn't need one. They repeatedly play select portions of the clip which I don't want to see and stop rolling the clip at points that I want to see beyond.
The presenter also has this annoying sense of urgency in his voice and describes things that are clearly in the scene (so don't need stating) or adds things to the scene which aren’t there:
"it's a terrifying crash" - Personally I didn't find it scary at all.
"WATCH! as this motorcyclist tries to make a turn at 40mph..." <-- said while you can clearly see the speedo showing 60+mph on the screen.
"... and flies straight off the clip" - yup: I can see that happening right now.
The about page for that channel says:
"Inside Edition is television's longest-running, top-rated, and most-honored syndicated newsmagazine."
Sounds like they had a good run, but I don't think these guys are going to be around much longer.
