I am astounded there is no criticism about him. Gibbs got bucket-loads. Was/is it the time, the term, what?
No, it's because he's really good. I did like Gibbs also.

In the beginning I found it so distracting I sometimes missed the message altogether.

what they're saying.

He got better with time though, I'll give him that. Now when I see him on the tube I don't even notice if he's doing it or not.
I still like Carney better though. He just seems more earnest to me.

But stand by. Someone will.

comfortable in front of the camera - and is better at public speaking, imo. Gibbs had good information, but it was painful listening to him put it together.
