They will read anything that's put up into the prompter without actually thinking about what they are reading. Okay, that's certainly an overstatement but considering the nature of their profession (on live TV everyday with a reasonably-sized audience) there really should be some critical thought behind some of the statements.

No…you never thought that? Oh, well then you would be correct. But did you ever stop to think that windmills really are giant fans and the new team is privilege to this secret information?

Are you upset because a windmill gets energy from the wind and it not a giant fan? Aw...come on. Couldn't we just flip the "reverse" switch and turn it into a giant fan? That would be pretty fun! On a side note...I understand that smoke it annoying, but unless the fires are completely exterminated first, the wind is just going to spread the fire farther. Maybe the anchor wants to burn down California. Ah ha! We have an arsine suspect. I want to make sure I understand your frustration correctly.
