    I wish they would get a reporter who is able to pronounce words correctly. it’s acoustically unpleasant to hear this person speak when all I can focus on is how many words she mispronounces…

  • Good show but the new host?

    Part of my daily morning routine but the low energy of the fill-in host has me worried about its future. I’m sure she’s a great writer and fine as a reporter for a single story but is not a host. Also the show’s “make assumptions” ad triggers cringe so quickly I might get in a car accident reaching for the skip button
