American news presenters are so upbeat and perfectly groomed that even when revealing details of an horrific tragedy, they have a way of making it seem like they're selling a tropical cruise. It's seen as a way of making misfortune somehow more palatable.

It's a target which the hilarious Anchorman hits with unerring accuracy and great regularity, scoring more than the occasional bullseye.
