Question by Document Guy: Do you think this news anchor is too dumb to be working?
A few days ago, many newscasts talked about a Tsunami warning being issued after an 8.1-magnitude earthquake struck near Japan’s northern coast. The people living in areas where a tsunami could hit were being evacuated. It all sounded very normal to me.
On one of the newscasts, one reporter said something that I think just shows how badly she is aware of how things are in the world. She said “I’m glad they have a warning system now, not like last time”.
I think that’s an 0K comment from an average person. But how can a news-anchor not know that Japan is a first world country that has had these types of warning systems for decades.
There’s nothing new about Japan evacuating people whenever they suspect a tsunami might strike. Yeah, India and Indonesia were hit by the tsunami, but they are third world countries without systems like the ones Japan has had for so long.
Do you think she’s too dumb to be a news anchor?

Could you specify which anchor, which station, which country?
If the reporter couldn’t tell the difference between Japan and Indonesia – I agree with you that she’s on the air just for her looks rather than her brains.
