Reply #78: Gender is not the issue [View All]

[Kai]

But go ahead, justify the assignment of this over-compensated online personality on the basis of gender. Male news readers are just as much of an affront to journalism. I don't actually watch network news and the prospect of finding this earnest pixie reading the redacted daily roundup is unlikely to inspire me to to turn it on. Perhaps, in a sense, it is fair to have finally included a woman in the tiny group of charmed characters who recite rather than report but that doesn't make it journalism. If it turns out that she is more than an emoticon so featured and with a demeanor to resonate with the broad demographic that this network is trying win in their declining days, I will be sure to tune in.
