When celebrity?
Every morning while I write, either this blog or an editorial, I glance every once in awhile at CNN to read the white scrolling bar or watch the clogged airport report.
But that's the official reason.
The unofficial reason is Robin Meade.
She is, in my opinion, one of the most outstanding looking women anywhere on television today.
I've never Googled her name, so I know nothing about her. That seems a bit unseemly, I think, for a 59-year-old man to begin what is essentially looking around in the closet of someone.
I do suspect that when she was in high school, she was class favorite or beauty queen, if they had such a thing.
In college, who could concentrate on calculus or Shakespeare with her in the class?
Or maybe she's had a complete makeover from top to bottom.
I don't know. I just know she's a knockout.
So, my question is this:
Why is she still on the morning show? Or is that a prime spot that pays prime money because it draws a prime audience? I'd think that since most of her show is on when people are driving to work, it would actually pay less. Lynn Walker tells me that in the Wichita Falls area, the morning anchors make about one-half what the evening anchors make.
The trend is to replace tired old men as evening anchors with exciting beautiful women. Katie Couric is the first, I'm sure, to break the barrier.
Couric is a little perky for my taste.
Now, Robin Meade. That's another story, and someone at ABC and CBS is missing a bet.

You couldn't be more wrong, IMHO. Robin Meade is one of the worst female anchors I've ever seen! She has poor news judgment, and frequently makes mistakes reading headlines. And she tries to inappropriately entice her viewers, which is immature. There are many excellent female on-air journalists; just that Robin is not one of them. Now, she would make a great waitress or airline attendant, with her obvious smile & people skills.
