Someone please call the Whaaaaaaaaaambulance!!!
I don't need to have the news spoonfed to me, thank you.
I thought Vargas was doing a good job. Now that she's gone, I haven't been watching the news (just like before she debuted).
I watched one of her last broadcasts.....she tripped up three times reading the tele-prompter. I thought, there has to be someone who can read better than that on-screen.
The truth is probably in the viewership numbers.
Vargas probably wasn't delivering the needed numbers. Otherwise, ABC would have no reason to replace her.
Could it be that her replacement isn't as cute? ;)
"We see it as a demotion," says Eleanor Smeal, president of the Feminist Majority Foundation and one of the country's most recognizable feminists. "We're worried. Is this a return to the days when it was tougher for women to get ahead?"
I think that is the sickest thing I have heard in a long time. Seriously. And, trust me, I read a lot of crazy stuff from liberals and crazies on FREEPERS through articles posted.
I figure that if it's important, some FReepers will start about 5 threads on the subject, all with different titles, and I'll read it along with interesting and sarcastic running commentary. I only watch local news on the TV.
""I think they pushed her out."
Duh. And why not? She had the lowest ratings in nightly news.
Who is Elizabeth Vargas?
What's Google?
The uber feminists can't understand or accept that. They look upon it as a betrayal to their cause. They act as if Vargas 'owes' them. To them, family/children is a chore - not a career.* They can't conceive of anyone wanting/choosing family first...even when the person says so themselves. Pathetic.
It's akin to blacks who decide they can rise above 'the reservation' that the demonRats want to keep them on.
Let a woman choose motherhood/family first or a black get uppity, especially if they are republican, and they are crucified by the socialists who have the mentality that somehow these persons have 'betrayed the cause." (Individualism is an anathema to socialists)

This notion is part of the school latent imprinting. I have some of the books 'given' to the public schools by Family Planning(this way, the books as not officially part of the "curriculum' and parents never see them) that teach Jr. High age girls such things as thinking about what you want to be, and what careers, when you grow up. It adds that "marriage does not count" - they are impressed with the 'facts' that babies are not all fun but mostly messy, crying things that interfere with your life. The boys are taught "never let a woman/wife tell you that you should be responsible for the bills while she stays home. She should be responsible for 50% of all bills"
Kids at that age, without a clue of what being married or being parents entail, think "yeah." then they forget the 'lessons' but when they grown up , those 'lessons' are still in the head.
The schools are turning out good little socialists. But some are reverting and that is driving the socialists wild.

IIRC, Rush talked about this story a couple of days ago and played a song called "Born to Be Hurt" by Sandy Posey. I think it was in connection to Smeal's quote. It was incredibly funny.
Oh, I thought it was THE Vargas girl. :)
:O)

Google is something people do with their eyes.
I think that girl likes geography.
