Something interesting came to me while watching the Super Bowl. The female sideline reporters are very intelligent, well spoken and knowledgeable. While not ugly they are clearly not Coco Channel models reading from a tele-prompter.
So in the supposed respectable main stream and cable news we have info babes, yet from the sidelines of a football game we have the opposite. This disturbs me greatly. While in college one of my professors nicknamed Dr. Death was an ex-CIA profiler teaching a very difficult history course. Using Rome at its height he explained how the death knell for a modern society is when we are over-burdened with taxation, due to a government which spends too much and rely upon sports as a relief and distraction from the misery and truth of the countries health. We can argue as to the extent of America’s misery and health, yet something which is clear to me is the importance ABC places on smart women on the sidelines. This shows they know the viewer is knowledgeable of football and must place similar people to report on it, yet for actual world changing event news they place a dumb info babe who does nothing more then read a tele-prompter.
This is clear evidence of what the network channels know of the American public. They know their football, but don't have a clue about what is happening in the world. Some of you might say, but FOX news has Greta and she sure as hell is no info babe.
Sad to say this, but Fox news as well as all the cable channels packages their analysis and news with a pre-determined position of marketing it to a very ignorant populace. If it were any different we would have those smart women on the sideline giving analysis instead of BOR who still insists Rush made a racist comment about Donovan McNabb, the SVPT was a he said she said campaign and eternally in love with a racist hate monger such as Al Sharpton because the guy pulls ratings.
We should all be aware and pissed about this.
