To 2010 and beyond....boredom!

I must confess my dissapointment...I was completely and utterly embarrassed after watching the poor efforts of our much loved Channel 7 newsreaders on election night. Not only did Mel Doyle decieve viewers with her skin coloured cami (I thought she was busting out the cleavage until I looked closely), their faces just said it all! Bored...Bored and more bored...Yes, we could feel sorry for them, poor things having to pull an all nighter, tired, bored, their makeup cracking after holding their fake smiles for hours and hours. But come on guys, at least show a little enthusiasm!!! Most of us would agree that politics can be dry, but isn't it the job of journos and news readers to give it a bit of flair, lighten it up, tell a story, keep readers INTERESTED? Sadly, last night both Mel and Kochie failed on all grounds. As a budding journo myself, I suppose all I can do is learn from others mistakes so thankyou Channel 7 for the lesson!
