Headline News (1982– )
2/10
Not Brilliant, Not Inspired, Not Creative, Just Nauseating
7 January 2009
I would respect this show much more if they got rid of Mike Galanos. Mike Galanos is what's wrong with CNN and HLN with is alarmist reporting. He needs his prissy little sense of antiquated morality updated and upgraded with a strong dose of reality. Where was this guy raised? In Victorian era England? I rather doubt his views would have been accepted even then. This guy is a PRUDE with no apparent common sense whatsoever. His presence, just the sight of his face, ruins the show in my opinion, and remember legal department, this entire review IS OPINION.

He says, "Let's hear what YOU think," but he does not want to hear what we think, he wants other Metatrons who will espouse his opinions, embrace his views, and tell him how wonderful he is. Otherwise, he scoffs at the caller's viewpoints, challenges their opinions, and attempts to belittle his audience...you know...the people who actually WATCH his drivel?

Otherwise, this show is done in talk show style with a decent moral center...until Galanos's face looms onto the screen. Sorry folks. I have respect for CNN and what it does, but Galanos is entirely superficial and inflammatory. In my opinion, he has no business whatsoever pretending to have anything to do with the "news." He is, at BEST, an editorialist and nothing better. He opines, he does NOT report. Because of that, when he DOES report, I cannot trust him. A journalist is only as good as his word, and to me his word is nothing but spew.

Change the name of his segment, or SOMEthing.

I hate it. It's not news. It's an hour long alarmist editorial.

It rates a 2.2/10 from...
