I have watched now for a couple of nights of Washington News Wrap and Sabirah Rayford comes across as inconsolably wooden. No energy, no urgnecy, just transfixed to the prompter. She needs coaching very badly...badly. Ross carries her when they co-anchor, but solo, she is just mailing it in. The newscast is weak, not even an alternative to the competition. Unwatchable.

It's absolutely unwatchable. I feel really bad for David Rose. But they all look like they are taking one for the team.
ReplyDeleteHer name is Sabirah. And, no, she is not a good anchor.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she is a nice person, but I agree that her anchoring isn't the greatest.
ReplyDeleteAgree, I actually think Hana would be much better on that show. She's been in the state for many years and I think it would give needed credibility.
ReplyDeleteThat makes a lot of sense.
