Yeah, newsreaders who all too often interject their own petty remarks into the broadcast. So unprofessional.

In the UK both newscasters and what you refer to anchormen are not allowed to express their own point of view yet I get the impression this is not true in the US

Also another piece of useless information a newscaster cannot do a commercial until they stop reading the news. If they move in to another form of journalism they can but the reason is that it is considered that if a newscaster advertises something the public subconsciously may be influenced due to the fact they are used to them reporting facts rather than opinions.
