IMO, Anderson is a fast-talking anchor who always seems to be trying to stuff twenty pounds of verbiage into a ten pound bag.
This makes it challenging for him to be viewed by people who have slightly impaired hearing. It gets really bad when he not only
speaks too rapidly, but also mumbles and garbles his words, which he often does.
