Muir is the increasingly redundant chief anchor of ABC News World News Tonight.
As the show relies mostly on visuals, even if the content is paper-thin (dog in the snow, and such) his ratings are somewhat higher than NBC's or CBS's.
What's especially annoying now is that night after night, some idiot in management apparently requires him to endlessly say the following:
''Look at this.''
''We want you to look at this.''
''We warn you, many may find this disturbing.''
Other network news shows are imitating these tactics now. Let me just say to Muir: don't tell us what to look it, I don't give a #$%@ what you want, and you make it even more disturbing when you selectively blur images of your choice while adding sounds of actual gunshots in their place to boost your ratings. Please get new sensible lines. And realize the one good news segment you may have doesn't have to be relegated to the very end of the show as many of us have switched channels in disgust by then. Your opening jaw-jutting each night is equally unimpressive. Cut it out.
