New lows might be coming as a small town Texas news station is actually hiring a woman with no experience in the news business to become the anchor at a local station with poor ratings to coincide with a Fox reality show presenting under the same premise.
Starting with Jessica Savitch in the entire industry first, and through the eighties to now, the
super-babe news anchor trend started locally here in Chicago I believe with a woman we all know now by the name of Deborah Norville who was our WMAQ NBC5 anchor during that time.
The movie Almost Golden features Jessica Savitch's story and is pretty good in my opinion, check it out if you haven't seen it before. It's a Lifetime flick but still worth watching... (lol ladies)
Back to Deborah Norville, she most definitely had a positive effect on their ratings for years without a doubt, as every person I knew was glued to NBC 5 then and through the nineties thanks to their killer sitcom lineup on Thursdays for many years. (Seinfeld, Cosby, HillStreet, Cheers, Family Ties, Vice, etc etc... the good old days lol
Incidentally, I also had the pleasure of meeting her personally at two fund raisers that were held for a local Sports Writer namedKeith Reinhard of the local Daily Herald, who disappeared in the mountains of Colorado in August 1988.
I myself spent two years getting up at 5 am to watch her early bird perched newscast before work and actually was around the time I started following politics and becoming conservative being dragged to the news by an attractive anchorette (lol).
As long as she has been identified as a person with no experience as she undoubtedly has, why shouldn't she be able to become a news anchor like anyone else? Because she' s not in the club by going the normal route, thus hurting their credibility? As if the MSM has any credibilty left in the first place?
People in "the business" are always saying this as well as so called "professional journalists", who feel bloggers are simply a bunch of idiots with computers in pajamas and a cable modem as you know I'm sure.
This is because they're all offended that they went to college for 4 or 5 years to become degreed writers and such, when now thanks to this technology and Matt Drudge's ingenuity anybody with an idea or two and a computer can put those ideas on electronic paper and let the people judge whether or not that they are worthy of the same attention.
This is the same thing in the visual media business as they are finding out there are millions of people who can do what they do just as well, and naturally they're concerned for the viability of their careers and futures. The credibility argument is simply delusional grandeur as they lost it all around the fake but accurate George Bush witch hunt and their treasonous negative war coverage.
Let's face it, who wants to look at a Rosie O'Donnell-a-Saurus when they can look at someone or something more pleasing? That goes the other way for the women looking at the men so what's the big deal I guess. I'm a conservative and Christian but not a complete fundamental prude.
Can't be any worse than the left wing socialist slanted garbage that Networks and their affiliates produce and air right now day to day, right?

While Hurley admits his decision to hire Jones will attract criticism, he sees it as a smart business move.
"We think this will accelerate our growth and that people will see this as entrepreneurial," he told the Longview, Texas, News-Journal.
Jones' 30-day contract is a tie-in with the new Fox reality show, "Anchorwoman", scheduled to broadcast in August.
Fox is paying KYTX to film the five-episode "comedy/reality hybrid" in its studios. KYTX news ranks behind the regional leader, KLTV. read more
