This just in: On the evening news, emotion-stimulating music plays in the background of every story. Quiet time comes when the anchorman sums up or introduces a new piece. During a shot of a violent protest, tunes that could have come from Pirates of The Caribbean playing in the background made the harsh images seem less real. When pictures of missing children appeared on the screen, sappy classical music hummed. Also, the camera angles and intense choppiness of the editing made me think of Project Runway. Without understanding a word of the dialogue, watching the news here is almost more entertaining than watching reality shows (which are not so hard to beat). Ultimately, it’s hard to distinguish the serious stuff from E! Entertainment Television/ trashy celebrity gossip programs.
