I love this "...television consultants advise local news departments to put the words "you" or "your" in every promotion..."

The Weather Channel has perfected this bit of Barnum & Bailey. Listen to every TV personality on TWC--they all say "YOUR morning here in LA", "YOUR commute here in Philly", "OUR weekend here in Dallas".

Such phony "home-iness" that is. Maybe Edwards can step right into a lead role as a weather-reader at TWC.

Blow-dried Johnny has the credentials to be a top-notch weather boy (or news reader). He really is in the wrong line of work.

By the way, I'm wondering - since he decries the "two Americas" so much, do you think Johnny would let me have one of his three multi-million dollar houses, just so I could see what life is like in his America? I'll take the beach house, Johnny.

"you" and "your" - Real estate agents always do that to when they're showing a home. "This is your master bedroom." "Here's your built-in bookshelves."
