I have found that ALL the hosts ARE hosts because they just can’t SHUT UP.
They just CAN’T shut up.
I thought I was the only one who was exasperated by the questions asked in the most circuitous, rambling way that could possibly be asked.
This includes, Lou Dobbs, sorry to say, Sean, Trish, Asman, sometimes, Charles Payne, Liz MacDonald...
I mute until they are finished their mumblings, then tune back in, but by that time I am screaming.
Glad to know I am not alone.
When my husband and I got married (1975) he presented me with a gift: a small black box, attached to the sound of the T.V. with a long wire. The box had an ON and OFF switch. It was a "mute" switch.
I positive that other engineers made the same sort of thing.
Why listen to the gas bags? The remote takes me wherever I want to go. THAT with the mute button is all I need to be a happy camper.
