I am half-watching CNN while looking at the web. The usual suspects are on Lou Dobbs, and the bottom of the screen features, in huge letters:

WHITE HOUSE MESS

Is it just me, or does this sound very casual, colloquial, informal, and silly... for 'journalists'? Mess? Have I been living in Europe too long? It strikes me that the Beverly Hillbillies are doing the graphics tonight... ???

I am also tired of news anchors saying things like, 'There's six of them' and 'it's a miracle'. Among other things.

WWWCD? What Would Walter Cronkite Do?
