Anyone working for a major MSM Network news show or cable news network and who is under 40 was hired for their looks. If one of them is actually bright, intelligent, or well read it is purely by accident.
Anyone who is over 40 and survived the Network news downsizing, closing of foreign offices, and trimming of all reporting staff down to almost nothing that went on across the board during the 90's- then they are obsequious corporate yes men concerned only and soley about their renumeration and will do anything they are told to do as they are without principle or ethics.
