This is simply a reality of life.
Every watch the reporters on local TV, or FoxNEWS? Is it really just random chance that every single one of the major network anchors is extremely attractive? Can anyone name an unattractive news anchor on Fox, or any other major network?
Ugly people, tend to know they are unattractive - and knowing so, they do not pursue a career in which their success is measured by how they look; but rather by what they can do. Hence the phrase “A face just made for radio”.
“Is it really just random chance that every single one of the major network anchors is extremely attractive?”
I think the argument is not that Fox News is being irrational. Of course we know the cast hot babes for the sake of ratings. The problem is that the ratings are based on the audience’s irrational desire to see attractive people. Like how the owner of a diner could have refused to hire blacks because his white customers wouldn’t want to be served by them. It’s a stupid argument, I know, but so it goes.
For the record, I say whites should be able to refuse to hire blacks all they want. It’s their property. If it is, that is; if it’s not it’s another argument. Discrimination didn’t seem to permanently hurt Jews, Italians, Irish, Germans, various Asians, etc. And legally enforced color-blind non-discrimination has been a documented and notorious failure as regards the heavily “underclassed” blacks. So much so that large underground rivers of racism are theorized to persist, despite the inarguable decline of liminal racism.
Hell of a lot of good (non-governmental) anti-discrimination has done us, even assuming it’s right.
