Media And Its Reps

Is it just me or is the major news outlets giving us a distorted view of ourselves? I mean look at EVERY network and their on camera anchors. They are handsome, cute, sexy, thin, yada yada.

The ones that get the most air time are those that are "perfect". No? Name one that is not. The minute reports are those that may be a bit less than "perfect". This all just reinforces my belief that the media, as it is today, is about ratings and not the news of the day. This is what er get when the news is controlled by the Entertainment Division of a corporation.

Yes, there are a few that do not fit into this outline, but they are few and far between.
