Because of how we enunciate our words, there is a tendency to shout out for emphasis or to be heard.<BR/><BR/>I used to be reminded of that when I was quite new in the US, people cautioning me to tone down my speech. Yet I had thought that I was simply being emphatic.Amadeohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00040096079637569742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933501.post-65063158286037240342008-07-29T14:54:00.000+08:002008-07-29T14:54:00.000+08:00Ah you've noticed.

I myself haven't gone abroad, but I've also tuned out.<BR/><BR/>Note that you don't have to compare the popular prime time TV news to international ones. Compare it to not-so-famous local prime time TV news.<BR/><BR/>I get my news only via the Internet, particularly Philstar and some blogs. I do know that there are equivalent agitating news delivery in the print media. You can see it in how they choose to word their headlines.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933501.post-51860715650664474412008-07-09T06:32:00.000+08:002008-07-09T06:32:00.000+08:00Phil:I do not believe my preferences have changed ...Phil:<BR/><BR/>I do not believe my preferences have changed over the years. I simply preferred one type of reporting and program hosting over what I now see on local media.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, when I left the old homeland media wasn't as pervasive and popular as today. Whatever little TV we had in our parts of the islands was mostly canned foreign programs. Radio was listened to essentially for the music coming out of it.Amadeohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00040096079637569742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933501.post-88600280587330066752008-07-08T23:11:00.000+08:002008-07-08T23:11:00.000+08:00Nahhhh.

You have been ruined for life, never able to truly enjoy the strange (and irritating)way they deliver the news over here. I never watch local TV or listen to the yelling radio newscasters. Thank heavens for cable.PhilippinesPhilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15921214743105919057noreply@blogger.com
