She kept it straight until the &#8216;and finally&#8217; when she had some fun at the end of the bulletin. So why was she moved over? Too old? Too expensive? Too bloody good? New boss, new broom? Something I know all about. Whatever it was it was wrong. And that has never been so obvious than when I wtached the 8 o&#8217;clock bulletin this morning with the new girl.<\/p>\n<p>Glamorous? Yes. But a few things that caught my eye and got my goat hence the rant are as follows:<\/p>\n<p>1. Reading autocue you could see her eyes scanning the lines, she didn&#8217;t look relaxed or natural.<\/p>\n<p>2. The way she read serious news story was ABC, 1,2,3 of news reading WRONG. She read awful headlines as if she were sitting in a cafe scanning the front page of Hello magazine. The reporting of news is just that &#8211; report it as it was. But she was putting in sensationalism and inappropriate emphasis at the worst points. \u00a0If \u00a0I were Penny Smith I&#8217;d be standing by my phone if someone at GMTV doesn&#8217;t phone her, apologise and beg her to come back then I will.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So they slide Penny Smith off from reading the news.
