Anyone with half a brain could have told you choosing her was a stupid choice! Too bad someone over in corporate SeeBS wasn't more connected to the middle of the country, and the demographics of who actually watches the MSM 5 p.m. broadcast news. The only people who still watch ABS, NBS or SeeBS are WWII era seniors. These are folks who expect a man to anchor evening, and women a la Dianne Sawyer, or her predecessor Joan London.
Expecting logic from MSM, considering their one-sided reporting, would be totally ridiculous. Oh well!
They have half a brain...the half that is totally Leftist Lenin-Marxist!

The political right should re-evaluate why in the heck we call the Leftist News Media (LNM) the "mainstream news media." What is "mainstream" about the LNM? They really DO have an agenda, and it certainly doesn't have anything whatsoever to do with giving the political right ANY fair nor reasonable news coverage when they "report" THEIR "news." Words and phrases really DO matter.
Take the abortion issue. Pro-lifers capitulated when pro-abortion advocates were offended by being called pro-abortion. They are now called pro-choice, which is a rather favorable phrase in our lexicon. This also means that the pro-lifers are now called anti-choice, since it is the opposite of pro-choice. Anti-choice is a rather bad phrase in our lexicon.
If we continue to FALSELY call the LNM something that they obviously are NOT, we are perpetuating that false myth, and at the same time regulating the political right news media as the "far right" media.

I use "MSM" as a term that is generally understood, not that they have even a passing acquaintance with the mainstream of America. I'll use "drive-by media" in the future. As a "dittohead", I like it better anyway.
