The Brits call them "newsreaders." Their job is to sit behind a desk on a TV set and read the news -- ostensibly written by actual journalists, but also by the propagandists at the BBC -- off the teleprompter in a professional-sounding manner while looking reassuringly into the camera.
In America we call them "anchors." Their job is to be the star of the show, to determine what goes on the air, to provide the desired slant to the news, and then at some point during the evening, to read the news off the teleprompter in a professional-sounding manner while looking reassuringly into the camera.
In Britain, being a newsreader is a nice job. In America, being an anchor is to sit atop the pinnacle of the fabulously wealthy and self-important infotainment industry.
While British TV viewers might not get news of any higher quality or with any less bias than what American viewers get, they certainly get it with a lot less ego and drama.

Rather did that back in 2004 (?)
Fun fact...
Norah’s father is Ravi Shankar who introduced the sitar to rock and/or roll via Beatles/George Harrison and Rolling Stones.
Norah also has a country/blue grass group called “Little Willies” - good stuff, too.
Wasn’t she on FOX news many years ago?
Boat anchors, more like, on a sinking ship.
Norah Jones
She is pretty much full ‘tard.
Who is Norah O’Donnell? Is she important?
A mercy killing!
Thanks to Fiddlesticks for this CBS reality!
“Newsreaders”.......the Brits have it right! There used to be a co-anchor on the local ABC news here in S.E. Michigan who was a stammering fool when not reading the teleprompter.
No conservative needs to watch tv news any more. All the news you could ever want is available on the web, where they can’t make you click on Shep, Wallace, Scarborough, or anyone else in the leftist rat pack.
She used to be okay.
Now she has a big, stupid, giant, grinning pie face like Hillary Clinton.
Sounds just like Julie Banderas of the sometimes weekend crew over at Fox.
Ain’t it nice?
Yep....

“just eye candy, great body”
I guess we could mute the sound and just look.
“News reader” was mentioned in the article. Limbaugh calls them anchorettes and reporterettes.
Megyn Kelly is thinking, “Not that I would even consider it, but I could do that job while standing on my head. There’s nothing to it!”
If that is true hell never be back. A good respectful interview with the President would be anathema to the MSM these days. Norah would be my pick if I had to choose a poison but the nice thing about these days is I no longer have to. Articles like these remind me there are still evening news broadcasts watched mostly by nursing home people. A definite dwindling audience.
Does anyone with at least one functioning brain cell watch these chronic liars? Pathetic.
