Uptalk undermines authority of report

I was intrigued by the topic of how the pandemic is effecting Gen Z. The reporter’s use of uptalk was so distracting that I had a difficult time focusing on her findings. It sounds like she is questioning them. that infection seems to say “don’t hurt me”. Or this information is tentative. She needs to read Deborah Tannen’s analysis of factors that undercut the power of women’s statements in the professional environment. Please claim your power young sis!
