Thanks for the words Christopher. Clearly you are far more read up on the subject than I and I really do appreciate what you have said. Again, my studies have only just begun and my history of journalism, along with the definitions often used in the academia, are still very immature. Anything that gives me insight on such things is incredibly appreciated. I may in fact check out that book, "3 minutes or less." I suppose I am speaking from a purely viewer standpoint when I mention "tone." In reality, I feel an incredible difference in the method of speech between shows such as the Newshour over other shows such as Hardball (which I do enjoy from time to time) and Hannity & Colmes (which I go out of my way to avoid.) Such tone very well might be related to what you described, Christopher. Once again, thanks for the words. Anything I can add to the "Wish To Read" pile is always exciting.
