I am writing concerning Frontline's use of ominous, drawn-out and threatening music in some of its programming. The content itself is many times already disturbing. I want to access and analyze this content without a soundtrack that leaves me anxious and on edge. It's a news program, not a horror film.
Also the narrator (American Insurrection) uses an odd, sotto voce delivery that seems designed to impart suspense. Again, it's news, not horror.
Sometimes I can't continue watching Frontline even though the content is very important. I want my news to be honest and honestly delivered. Everyday life is too stressful to have this artificial negative stimulation of emotions. Please consider using more neutral music.
Note: I am referring specifically to America After 9/11 and American Insurrection although these are not the only Frontline programs that have used inappropriate music.
