In Reply To: This angst is also heard in the thread about a "tasteless transition" on MSNBC and in past Today show threads. The Today show is a big offender here. Everything is "on a lighter note." It gets a little tired after hearing it each morning.. because only a little tiny bit of the show is not "a lighter note," so every time they mention some hard news element, the next segment is automatically "on a lighter note." Even worse is their attempt to vary this with the oh-so-much-better "on a much lighter note." Here my shouts of anger, or on some better mornings, on a lighter note, annoyance, and stop the use of this phrase!
Message: than the crap peddled on the morning shows daily? And I don't single out Today...
