I have watched every episode of Paula Zahn and after all these years, I had to find somewhere to do a review. The dramatic music needs to go away it is so annoying, to the point I want to stop watching the show it is not necessary to have the music, I just want to hear the facts. I also read that she isn't really interviewing the people and I always wondered why they weren't seen together in the show, seems to always go from her to the person she is interviewing without them being together like most interviews. Time to change the format please.. I would love to say I love it but not until things change..

I love how Paula interviews and isn't afraid to ask them anything. She really connects to the story and to the survivors, family, and friends. She isn't a cold professional with a chip on her shoulder, she is compassionate and understanding. I wish there were more journalists like her. She knows a story is more than just a story. She helps these victims tell their last moments and humanizes them so they're not just known as victim or Jane Doe.

Absolutely stupid use of narrative and ā€œscenesā€ that repeat through the show to the point of: ā€œbig shoe steps on childā€™s teddy bear 13 timesā€, which is overly dramatic and simply insulting to the viewer whoā€™s fully conscious and capable of putting 2 and 2 together to equal 4. Good grief. I cannot watch this blithering stupidity anymore. Scene Take 24: mans shoe steps on childā€™s teddy bearā€...again, in case you didnā€™t get the point the first 15 times.
