The stand-ins suck

There's a news program that I like which is specialized in interviews and investigative reports.  It's usually anchored by a lady but now-a-days she's on medical leave and instead of her they have put a guy and a gal.  Man, they suck!

The first day I saw them I thought maybe they're jetlagged or something, but I've seen them three times already, and they're still as bad as on the first day.  When they interview together some guest, one doesn't pay attention to the questions of the other, so they end up asking the same thing twice.  How moronic is that?

Proof that these folks are not that popular is the telephone poll they do everynight.  When the regular anchor is working, they manage to receive several thousand phone calls in reply.  But with these stand-ins, they get well below 1,000.  I think tonight it was less than 300 phone calls.
