Okay, folks, let’s talk news. Specifically, ABC World News Tonight. Hosted by the ever-so-serious David Muir.
Now, I know, I know, it’s *serious* news. World events! Important stuff! But hear me out.
The All-American Vibe
Has anyone else noticed the show's obsession... I mean, dedication... to stories about America?
I get it. We all like hearing good news about our own country. It's comforting.
But sometimes, I wonder if the "World" part of World News Tonight gets a little lost. It feels more like ABC America News Tonight, am I right?
Made in America… Mostly
They do this segment called "Made in America." Sounds patriotic, right?
And it is! They highlight companies that make stuff here at home. American ingenuity at its finest.
But sometimes, the connection feels… tenuous. Like, they’re *really* stretching to find American-made paperclips.
Or, you know, featuring a company that *assembles* foreign parts in America. Close enough, I guess?
David Muir: Serious Man, Serious News
Don’t get me wrong, David Muir is a fantastic anchor. He's got that "I'm-very-concerned-about-the-world" face down perfectly.
But does he ever crack a smile? Ever tell a joke? It’s always so… intense. Maybe he needs a vacation?
I picture him at Disneyland, meticulously analyzing the structural integrity of Space Mountain. While wearing a dark suit, of course.
My Unpopular Opinion
Here it comes. Prepare yourselves.
I think ABC World News Tonight sometimes leans a *little* too hard into the feel-good, American narrative.
It's like they’re trying to reassure us that everything is fine. Even when… well, you know.
Maybe I'm just a cynic. Maybe I prefer my news with a healthy dose of… reality. And less of the "rah rah America!"
Don’t get me wrong, I love America. I just think the world is bigger than our borders. And the news should reflect that.
“Is it just me, or does every other story end with a heartwarming tale of a small town doing something amazing?”
I mean, those stories are great! But what about the rest of the world? Are they just sitting around, not being heartwarming?
In Conclusion (Maybe)
Look, I'm not saying ABC World News Tonight is *bad*. It's just… very American.
Maybe that's what people want. Comfort food news, delivered with a serious face by David Muir.
But sometimes, I crave something a little more… international. A little less… predictably patriotic.
So next time you’re watching, pay attention. See if you notice the same thing. And then, tell me I’m crazy.
Or, you know, agree with me. Either way, I’ll be here, watching David Muir, wondering what’s happening outside our borders.
