Secrets of TV news: Confessions of an Anchorman
The Daily Caller ^ | 1/15/10 | Anonymous Anchorman

Posted on 01/16/2010 5:13:06 AM PST by Judges Gone Wild

The following was written by a well-known news anchor from a top-10, big city station:

For the last 30 years, I’ve devoted the better part of my life to frightening you, trying my best to make you believe that you are weak, vulnerable, dependent and at risk. I know what’s good for you. You don’t. I’ve tried hard for three decades to defy the laws of nature and return you to infancy, cradled in your mommy’s arm, suckling at her breast, all warm and cozy, not a care in the world. I am the tip of the spear of the liberal nanny state. I am ANCHORMAN!

Sorry, but unless this “anchorman” fesses up and signs his name to it, he’s still part of the problem, not part of the solution.

I call BS. The stuff he’s written is mostly true, but he’s lying about being an anchorman.

The value of the article is it shows where conservatives need to reach out to change the direction of the culture: women.

I am so surprised that the MSM would do such a thing.

And I thought that Tom Brokaw was kidding when he touted that he liked it when there was only the big three networks and that he, Jennings & Rather colluded together to determine the news we needed to hear, I guess I was mistaken.
