I think what really bothers me is that someone who is a highly paid news anchor hasn’t the common sense to know what questions to ask and what minimal research it was necessary to pursue. It just supports my theory that all of these tv news people are just actors who fit the type necessary to sell advertising time during their “news” program. To be invited to speak at a college would require that one would do some kind of inquiry on the place. The mistake that this woman made is not only ridiculous , but really very stupid. When will these colleges stop inviting celebrities?
TV news anchors are literally talking heads. Their job is to read whatever’s put on their teleprompters. I can’t fathom why anybody would invite one to be a college commencement speaker.
