I respect and appreciate the show This Week Sunday mornings. Mr. Stephanopolous is fine and Ms Raddatz would be too except for one thing. Her words are great, her articulation superb, but the volume is too loud. She is not the only one (I cannot watch Chuck Todd at all) but as soon as I hear her voice on the lead-in my anxiety ramps way up. In these anxious times when people are worried about the virus, the political and economic divides, social oppression of minorities, democracy and the planet, how news is delivered matters. I suppose it’s a tone as well as volume thing. We get enough emotional yelling at us from politicians and those blatantly spewing partisan sound bites. I need my news to come with a calmer delivery so that I can actually digest and analyze it myself. Critical thinking flies out the window when most of us get yelled at. We know things are bad. Help us understand it.
