Yeah, Eric & Greg are just a couple of "good ole boys!" The comments they made in reference to a bombing of ISIS in Syria by the first female pilot for the U.A.E. some months ago were real classy:

Greg: "Problem is, after she bombed it, she couldn't park it."

Eric: "Would that be considered boobs on the ground or no?"

Yeah...real grown up and classy...

According to independent studies, they really are balanced.

"Adele, I bet there isn't any news person currently on the air (male or female) who wouldn't love to have her ratings. There is a reason she is so popular."

True news reporters don't care about ratings. They care about news. If she's popular it's because she gives her audience what they want.

Without decent ratings or hits, you're gone.

I remember seeing Dana on Jeopardy when they had some news people on. Don't know who was dumber, Dana or CNN's Wolf Blitzer.

That defines her level of intelligence? A game show that's known for going after oddball facts?

I would really like to explore those studies. Are there any links or references? I'm quite interested!

I agree. Being on a quiz show may be a measure of the ability to answer general knowledge questions quickly. It certainly is not a measure of intelligence or analytic thinking.

It's always a victory for me when I remember why I entered a room.

Well I think all the cable and regular TV news stations have a blatant bias. I think it is what you may be more comfortable with watching. If you think what you are watching is not accurate go to another station. There certainly are enough out there.
