Article Body:

This morning, as we enjoy our breakfast, we're served a side of superiority by our usual news channel hosts. We're invited to join in as they laugh at the missteps of anyone who dares to be in the spotlight, excluding themselves and us, the viewers. What a comforting way to start the day, feeling superior to those hapless individuals. Let’s take a closer look at what’s happening here.

Recently, it’s become trendy for news presenters, especially during entertainment segments, to mock musicians and rock stars. The question is: why do they think they’re superior?

I recently witnessed a talented singer, who was a runner-up in a popular talent show, being ridiculed by news anchors. She performed impressively in her headshot, delivering a stellar vocal. Yet one newsreader quipped, "She wasn't the winner," followed by, "I'm not surprised, singing like that," as they and their music correspondent burst into laughter, mocking the singer’s appearance and efforts.

In reality, she sang beautifully. As a trained singer myself, I could tell she was right on the mark. The thing is, they criticized her raw, untreated vocals?"something every singer's voice goes through before studio magic is applied. It’s astonishing that the newsreaders and their ‘expert’ didn’t grasp this.

In the past, they might have gotten away with such behavior. Viewers would laugh along, none the wiser, and tune in the next day. But now, with the availability of affordable home studios, many people understand how music production works and are insulted by such ignorance.

This shows a lack of respect for the audience’s intelligence, assuming we are as uninformed as they appear to be. It's infuriating as a viewer to witness this level of arrogance.

Recently, I watched a presenter interview an economist on the economic conditions in a country affected by terrorism. The economist began explaining how such conditions often precede terrorism. Instead of allowing him to elaborate, the interviewer accused him of supporting terrorism, causing him palpable distress.

There is a clear difference between supporting terrorism and explaining the circumstances that might foster its rise. Do we really need to have that distinction spelled out for us?

The interviewer underestimated their audience's ability to differentiate between nuanced arguments, which is insulting. The economist, almost apoplectic, surely felt the same.

Experiences like these have made me and probably others reluctant to watch much morning TV anymore. The saying, "No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the public," may no longer hold in the age of the internet.

This is the information age, and here's something new: viewers can't be treated as ignorant any longer. Fail to adapt, and you might quickly lose your audience. And how foolish would that be?
