TV News Anchors

LESTER HOLT   IS THE NEW NEWS ANCHOR OF NBC NIGHTLY NEWS.   He replaced Brian William who got a second chance as MSNBC breaking news and special  reporter after six months of deliberation by the network what to do with him.   The six months suspension was up -- you know, should he stays or should he goes?  Under a different circumstances the network did the same thing to my favorite Ann Curry.  Eventually, I think, Brian Williams will go the same path to oblivion just like Ann Curry.

I WATCH A LOT OF NEWS.  I Stopped watching the local and national news a decade ago since TV news anchors of CBS, NBC and ABC have become pawns of the liberal mainstream media and the Democrats.  Now I mostly watch BBC WORLD NEWS and FOX.  

ANN CURRY

I never liked Brian Williams since the time when he interviewed George W and kind of looked down at him.  He would not do that to any other presidents, especially Barack Obama.   Williams' secret is out now: That while reporting in Iraq in 2003 his helicopter was hit by rocket-propelled grenade and crashed.  Not true.  And during typhoon Katrina, he saw a body floating in front of  the Ritz Hotel where he was staying.  Again, not true.  He's the last remaining dinosaur of TV news anchors: his contemporary Dan Rather (CBS) hit the road sometime ago.  And Peter Jennings (ABC) was long dead but never stopped asking where was George W on September 11th.



When women TV news anchors became the catch of the time, you know Connie Chung, Katy Couric, Diane Sawyer and Barbara Walters, I wondered why NBC did not hire ANN CURRY as NBC NEWS anchor.  I liked her journalistic seriousness in delivering the local and world news.  I was a bit surprised why.

The new faces in NBC TODAY show are just fine with me.

PREPOSTEROUS: That
is contrary to nature, reason, or common sense; Absurd.


Here are
my Most
Preposterous People
(and Thing), just
because....


1.  Electing Barack Hussein Obama as the 44th
President of the United States of America: The most unqualified and
inexperienced of all the presidential candidates, so tainted with questionable
characters (Rezko, Ayres, and Wright) he got elected, beside being named
Magic Negro by a Los Angeles Times reporter, only because
of the incessant hype of nothing by the liberal elites and bias mainstream
media (good to know they are all going to bankruptcy) who will forever and ever
give him a free pass and glorification because of the color of his skin. 
His avid supporters said he's intelligent and a graduate of Ivy League schools,
that's why he's more qualified than Sarah Palin. Tell that to all the million
students who graduated with honors from Harvard U. and University of
Chicago.  For a guy who has done nothing of consequence in his early
political life, being the new stooge of the liberal elite is a big
accomplishment indeed!


2.  Comparing Michelle Obama to Jacqueline Kennedy
Onassis: What?! Who brought that up?

3.  Contributing more than $600 million to the Obama
political campaign: Who said there are no middle-class Americans? For a guy who
gave more than $300 as charitable donation (same with Biden), what a tightwad
when it comes to spreading his wealth!


4.  Not electing John
McCain: Not winning this time is destiny's telling him being his life saved in
Vietnam is winning enough.


5.  Colin Powell criticizing Sarah Palin: What a
poor excuse of a man who's very afraid that he'll be badmouthed and ostracized
by his fellow blacks for all eternity.  Understandable!  But I pity
the man!


6.  Global warming hoax: Al Gore's doom and gloom way
of getting the Nobel Peace Prize.


7.  Skyrocketing gas prices:  From a high of
$160 down to $40 a barrel, there's no doubt of manipulation and
conspiracy.


8.  Global economic meltdown: The perfect chain
reaction.


9.  Selling the electric car:  Nobody is gonna
buy it, including self, except the hybrid and green people.


10.  Assaulting George W:  A total disgrace and
insult to the American President.  Not funny and
unforgivable!  And for me....a disappointing and slow reaction by the
President's Secret Service.


What's yours?


Happy New
Year!

  1. WORKING 9 TO 5, I DON'T HAVE TIME TO WATCH EARLY MORNING TV SHOWS LIKE OTHER PEOPLE WHO FIND TIME SOME HOW. AND I DON'T GET TO WATCH THE NIGHTLY NEWS ALSO BECAUSE BY THE TIME I GET HOME IT'S ALREADY PAST SIX. I'M ONE OF THOSE VIEWERS THAT LIKED TO WATCH ANN CURRY ON DATELINE NBC AND ON RARE OCCASIONS WHEN SHE'S ANCHORING. I MUST SAY I NEVER LIKE KATHY COURIC. I HAVE MY REASONS. I'VE ALWAYS BEEN DIFFERENT IN MY OPINION AND I DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH ANN CURRY - I'VE READ HER HER HATERS AND COMMENTERS DIDN'T LIKE THE WAY SHE DRESSED, THE WAY SHE INTERVIEWED HER GUESTS, THE WAY SHE EMPATHIZED AND THE WAY SHE TALKED. THAT'S HER STYLE, STUPID! NOBODY'S PERFECT. HER LONG WISH WAS TO BE A CO-ANCHOR OF TODAY SHOW AND HER WISH CAME TRUE. I MUST SAY MY SECRET WISH FOR HER IS TO BE AN NBC NEWS ANCHOR, THAT'S REALLY HER NICHE BECAUSE OF HER JOURNALISTIC PERSONA. AS FOR NBC INSIDERS WHO DIDN'T LIKE HER THEY WERE JUST ENVIOUS OF HER. ANYWAY, SAD TO SAY SHE'S LONG GONE. THINGS HAPPEN FOR A REASON AND THINGS THAT ARE UNFORESEEN. GOOD LUCK FOR HER.

  2. OOPS! COME TO THINK OF IT, TOM BROKAW WAS THE CONTEMPORARY ANCHOR OF DAN RATHER AND PETER JENNINGS. I SAID TO MYSELF, SELF, BRIAN WILLIAMS IS TOAST. HE'S SUSPENDED FOR 6 MONTHS WITH NO PAY. IT REALLY DIDN'T MATTER FOR ME WHETHER HE COMES BACK OR NOT SINCE I DON'T WATCH NBC (OBAMA NETWORK), CBS AND VERY RARE ABC NEWS. THE TIME COINCIDES WITH MY VIEWING OF FOX'S BRET BAIER.

  3. AMERICA IS THE LAND OF SECOND CHANCE. BRIAN WILLIAMS SHOULD SIT OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM RIGHT NOW AND LET THINGS SETTLE DOWN. LOOK AT BILL CLINTON WITH HIS BIMBOS AND LIES, HE'S MORE POPULAR THAN EVER. ANYWAY, NBC WEEKEND TODAY SHOW/NEWS ANCHOR TOOK OVER. HE'S THE SECOND AFRICAN-AMERICAN TO SIT AT THE ANCHOR CHAIR. THE FIRST WAS ROBINSON? (I FORGOT THE FIRST NAME) OF ABC WORLD NEWS. BEFORE COMING TO NEW YORK, LESTER HOLT USED TO ANCHOR THE LOCAL CBS EVENING NEWS IN CHICAGO. HE'S GOT A HANDSOME SON, STEFAN HOLT, WHO CO-ANCHORS THE LOCAL NBC CHICAGO NEWS.

  7. NO ONE WATCHES MSNBC. IN MY CASE, MY PREFERRED NETWORK IS FOX WHERE THE WOMEN ANCHORS ARE SO BEAUTIFUL AND THE MEN ARE GOOD LOOKING TOO AND REPORT FACTS AS FACTS!

  8. A NETWORK THAT WOULD HIRE CHUCK TODD AS MODERATOR IS NOT OF RIGHT MIND. A FEW YEARS AGO I WAS CHECKING YOUTUBE AND HAPPENED TO WATCH A VIDEO BY CHUCK TODD. HOW ANTI-REPUBLICAN AND SO INSULTING AND VERY ANNOYING.
