Dateline: The Last Day

Andrea Canning is causing Dateline to lose viewers like Crazy! How in the world did that woman ever get on TV???? She comes across as a dumb blonde, giving us smart blondes a bad name.

Why can't the producers see how she is destroying that great show? They need to can her NOW! No one we know likes that egotistical woman.

It seems like Ms. Canning is on more and more episodes. So all of us turn to other shows the minute we see her face. It would be good to know ahead of time which episodes they plan to ruin by having her appear.

I have read that she has lots of children; shouldn't she give her time to them rather than spending her time doing a rotten job on Dateline? We only have limited time each day, so she might be spreading herself very thin as a parent, since she seems to be on more and more episodes of Dateline. Someone says she is also on another show.

The first several episodes were interesting. Then Andrea Canning comes in with her unnatural voice inflections, in an almost sing-song way and I can't listen to her anymore. Her statements are ridiculous, such as when hearing someone was stabbed 15 times, she says "that's a lot". Please stop using this person in Dateline. Both she and Keith Morrison use that weird voice accenting in unnatural places all the time. It reminds me of the 60's and 70's reporting. I would rather hear natural speech that doesn't make me want to tear my own hair out. Otherwise, I like the episodes without those two reporters. I.

Dateline is what it is and is generally a pretty solid series (despite random episodes poorly thought out, like Amber Heards episode) but quite a few of these have made absolutely no sense; missing evidence, crucial details omitted, facts fabricated, information unrelated/unnecessary to the case brought in, and it's such a forced mishmash of nonsense and it makes no sense.

Someone please tell dateline it's time to cut bait on Canning- she's absolutely horrible- asks the most obvious, condescending questions, feigns compassion with the most obnoxious facial expressions, asks completely irrelevant questions that are so obvious (asking a family member if they were sad upon learning of the death? Seriously.) and just such flat affect with a seeming disinterested reading of a script that sounds like she's reading a script. Stop giving her turns in the rotation, she's not good at this, and she's actually painful to endure.

For me this is not one of the best shows under the Dateline franchise. From the start you can tell from narrator description who the killer is. For some reason NBC Dateline has gone from being a current events news show to just who was killed and the killer show. One of the worse narrators is Keith Morrison who tells his victims story like narrating a childrens story same way as done in How The Grinch Stole Christmas.

As I sit here and watch Andrea interview the convicted man I am disgusted. Whether a person is guilty or innocent you should not be talking to down to the person, getting upset with their answers, or talk in a condescending manner. Your facial expressions and tone are just ugly. How can you be a good journalist or host if your views and opinions are biased and it is shown through your demeanor, facial expressions, and through your tone? If you are going to interview someone and you can't put your opinions aside then you shouldn't be doing hosting that show or talking to that person. It's just morally wrong and makes you look ugly. I don't think Dateline should be using Andrea Canning anymore if you want higher ratings.
