Too much "Nice"

I'm not a Scrooge, I'm really not. But the older I get, the less patience I have with this new breed of newscaster who acts like s/he's your buddy next door. I don't want "nice" newscasters, I want professional newscasters who deliver actual news, not human-interest tidbits about somebody baking a wedding cake. This stuff was okay when it was an occasional sidebar but today the main news thread focuses on non-news items of trivial events. This is especially true at the local level. Everybody acts like I'm their buddy. Guess what? I'm not. So cut the act and deliver some actual news, please. (Fat chance.)
