"And Now - Your Squaresville Evening News Team..."

"...Dirk Tool with the news, Rhonda Runway with our award winning Doppler 2012 radar coverage, and on sports - Johnny Manchild ..."  

People forget that televised news is included in the broad heading of "Entertainment". So don't be surprised when you see the theatre that is the daily forecast, with exaggeration pushed as far as possible. Tangent: Is it just my "local news team", or are they worse than ever in terms of being over corny/provincial, and lazy? I see only scant effort expended in excavating fresh (or, perish the thought...clever or groundbreaking) local and state stories, and the tired, hokey, and superficial are the order of the day.
