One rule of good journalistic story-telling: make it personal. Tell the news in a way that makes people feel it in their guts.
Tamron Hall, anchoring MSNBC Live, just took that truism perhaps just a smidge too literally. Hall, discussing the snowstorm currently buffeting New York City—a storm that’s resulted in flight cancellations and delays at all three metro airports—explained to the millions of people tuning in to the cable network’s broadcast how she has been personally touched by the storm: Hall’s boyfriend, she informed us all, can’t make it to NYC to visit her. He is currently stuck in Chicago.
Thanks, Tamron: right in the gut.
Tamron Hall is far too superior acting and annoying. Yesterday on MSNBC, after she interviewed a guest [Monday] and he couldn't say anything more she turned to the camera and stated something to the effect that the guest's information was incorrect. Whatever gave her the idea that because she reads a teleprompter well that she can summarily dismiss a guest's comments? MSNBC would do well to ditch Ms. Hall.

If they do (ditch Ms. Hall) I'll return to CNN for my news. She is simply brilliant!

Tamron Hall is a brillant Newscaster. Today 033109, you appear to be distracted while presenting a very crucial News and interviews about President Obama and First Lady's visit to London, England. Please do not let yourself be distracted when on MSNBC News. This is the most watched News station I can think of. Tammie, keep up the good work !.
If you need further clarification feel free to reply my mail. I have volunteered myself to tune in to your daily programs. The other programs I watch a lot are:
Keith Olbermann, Rachel M, and Cris Mathews.
You are my sister and I want you to succeed big time. You are making us PROUD here in Southern California.

To News For Tamron....Oh stop it with the false rumors. Every man does not cheat and apparently you are a man that she must have declined interest or you're a female that wished she looked like her. The first form of known jealousy is when that person makes a false statement about their relationship. Get a life!

To Leavitalone... lol...not a rumor, it's a fact... not someone declined and not some who envies.. I feel bad she does not know the truth. She's beautiful and intelligent, she deserves better.
