One woman out, another woman in, Paula Zahn out, Campbell Brown in. The woman's chair at CNN has been filled.
Why is it that of the major cable hosts they are all almost white, almost all male, almost all either Republicans, Republican shills, or Washington insiders who repeat Republican talking points?
Heaven forbid, if a major cable network would actually have two women in the lineup at the same time!!
Today we have Nancy Grace (no comment), Greta, and whichever woman CNN chooses at a given time.
Which gender has the majority of Americans? A majority of voters? A majority of consumers?
If women get the bad end, imagine how African Americans and hispanics feel?
African Americans have nothing among the major hosts, and had to put up with Imus for years. Hispanics have nothing among the major hosts, and have to put up being being the unflattering backgound picture of immigration stories.
What an outrage.
It is about time we open up the country club of cable television hosts to the real America.
How about a show hosted by Stephanie Miller or Randi Rhodes? They are far more funny, serious and entertaining and would bring a far larger audience, and better demographics, than some deadwood now wasting bandwith.
There are others, a subject I have written about before, and will return to soon.
For now, lets agree that cable television hosting shouldn't be a choice between modern segregation and new day tokenism.
Agreed?
