  2. Hey, Doug, Anon is an idiot. Maybe he is put off by a charmer, which I think you are. I have lived in the valley since 1950. Most of that time we have had a TV, so I have watched the evolution of news reporting. It has been pretty dry, and I only watch briefly if something was happening. Usually reporters look deadpan and maintain a certain aloofness. You bring a refreshing breath of humanistic humor to the news, which is something I think we all need. Your interaction with Faye works. Thanks for coming to Phoenix. --Linda

  3. He is an uber MORON and even goes awkward daily on this broadcast. His hair is GREAT and his gaze is blank which makes his past at Fox unsurprising. Always a treat to get second stringers popping up here in AZ. He makes Fay look SUPER INTELLIGENT though.
