Using reporters and anchors as the focus of stories has always struck me as extremely lazy journalism. The news should not be about the on-air talent. We should be out there researching and reporting on the people, places, and things that make up our communities.
Besides, what also bothers me is that the "talent" often has an incredible knack for infusing just the right amount of emotion at just the right time. They know what'll sell in Peoria, and to the promotions department.
All that being said, I can't speak for the core viewers who "just love" ____________ (insert your anchor's name here). They may very well feel that it's the best thing they've ever seen.
