It's apparent to me that his editorial style is to transform
anything remotely scary into a dire emergency, just for the

Exactly. It's what all TV news organizations do. I once saw a funny bit
on Mad TV wherein a TV station desperate for ratings tried to portray
the sun going down as a frightening emergency. On-scene reporters got
street interviews with people saying things like "Yeah, it's sure
getting dark. Kinda makes you nervous."

Pretty unattractive.

Positively disgusting, I'd say.
