She's blaming the Red States for network news anchors? Oh, come on!

I wish this woman would drop into the rotten mouth of death. Am I wrong to feel this way?

But my pal admits that she watched Brokaw partly because he was "eye candy,"

My evening is now officially SHOT. ;-)

And the problem is, women like watching men."

Don't I know it. It's tough being eye candy but, doggone it, if that's my lot in life so be it.

It is a creepy thought, isn't it?

I don't wish death on anyone, including liberals I happen to despise greatly.

It's the End of an Era. A momentous change. Last night, on NBC, one tall and handsome white male anchor with bespoke clothes replaced another tall and handsome white male anchor with bespoke clothes.

Even Tom Brokaw is a little surprised that he has been succeeded by someone who looks like the love child he and Peter Jennings never had.

You've gotta admit she can be pretty damn witty sometimes. She's like a liberal version of Ann Coulter.

The networks don't even give lip service to looking for women and blacks for anchor jobs -- they just put pretty-boy clones in the pipeline.

Whoever wrote this is completely insular.
I'm in Ireland, and some of the best known Irish news anchors are women - Miriam O'Callaghan (RTE - Prime Time); Anne Doyle (RTE - Six One News); Grainne Seoige (Sky News Ireland).

"As my mom said, discussing her belief that Martha Stewart had been railroaded by jealous men, "If men could figure out how to have babies, they'd get rid of us altogether.""

Could this particular female's grasp of human nature be any more wanting?

Oops, I should have looked to see who wrote this. Maureen Dowd! No wonder!

A disgruntled harridan, if ever there was one.

Both Dowd and network news are about as useful as you-know-what on a bull.

I'm wondering why there are no Hispanic or Black men or women as major anchors on the Big 3? Could it be that the powers that be at these networks are racists?

Just wondering.

"You ought to call the Lifetime network or, as we say, the 'Men Are No Damn Good Network,' and protest it," Ailes slyly suggested.

Hahaha! Gotta love that Ailes. He knows he has the dinomedia on the ropes, so he can tell this whining shrew off. Does she EVER quite sniveling about all the perceived slights in her shallow existence?
