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.

He was a crown jewel at CBS back then, “The most trusted man in America” as I recall hearing.
Our MSM has been a domestic enemy for many decades.
As an entrepreneur with a business that interfaces with the music industry...
Yes, I know Norah Jones is RS’s daughter...and why I posted what I posted.
You simply misread/misunderstood the post.
Additionally, my post was a reply to #14 which alluded to Norah Jones, the pianist.
You are correct. I misunderstood the post. Sorry.
Ms. Norah Jones is a great singer and piano player...real talent.
