Dull to a child, dangerous to an adult
4 December 2022
Nick News was (is?) a children's news program hosted by Linda Ellerbee. As a Millennial child, not I, nor a single person I knew had any interest in this show and considered it a waste of valuable time on the Nickelodeon schedule. It was created by adults for adult reasons (indoctrinating youth), and adults congratulated themselves for it to the tune of 9 Emmy awards for best children's program of the year (it wouldn't win a thing if children voted). The content never really appealed to me as a kid (what child wants to watch a news program in their spare time?) but having gone back and watched clips, it's clear the show had a liberal slant and was created for propaganda purposes. If you're going to do that, at least get someone charismatic to deliver. Instead, we're presented with Linda Ellerbee, who serves as one of the most jaw-droppingly boring anchors I've ever seen. If the world had ended, she'd be up there with her staid, monotone delivery going, "The world ended today..."

Avoid.
