"He's got a refreshing way of being the anti-anchor," he said. "He's not quote-unquote reporting at you. He's just being himself. He's asking the questions you would like answered. He's getting involved the way you might. You feel that he's a regular person that you can trust talking to you. He brings such a passion to the storytelling that's infectious."

I think this paragraph is extremely telling. Someone should tell these people it should not be storytelling. It is reporting the news.

Using the word "storytelling" isn't necessarily bad...sometimes it is the best way to describe a complex event. One problem with broadcasting is the short time alloted: a network reporter has 2 minutes or less to give a description of who/what/when/where/why. When you add that limitation to the obvious BIAS most reporters possess, you have an answer as to why the MSM is so weak.

And the long-form programs, like 60 Minutes, have the TIME to tell a complex story--they just aren't fair and balanced. So you get a 45-minute Democrat Party commercial (or at least a 45-minute anti-conservative message).
