"In my opinion..."
"It seems to me..."
"I don't quite see how..."
What do these phrases have in common?
NONE of them should be uttered on the air by my
CNN or Fox News anchorman.
Who are you, dear newscaster,
that I should care what you have to say about
economics, politics, social welfare, taxes, construction?
What degrees do you have? How can you argue with an economist about whether a new approach will work, or debate a military strategy with a military strategist.
Are you trying to convince me you know what you're talking about? That I should spend even more hours of my day listening to YOUR opinion on current events.
An audience does NOT give you an inherent right to talk...
