Guess how old Candy Crowley is of CNN? - Page 5

The question was about her age, so naturally comments about her age would be appropriate.

She is not my favorite journalist nor is her channel my preferred viewing network.

That said, I certainly did not say (nor think) that she is not qualified, or intelligent, or nice, or whatever.

I answered the question, yes I think she looks her age, and older.

Some of the negative responses here are based on something other than objectivity. If you know what I mean. I don't care how young or old she is. Age is just a number.

IF that is the case, which it isn't . . . the objectivity is just as surely sorely lacking when it comes to the bashing of blonde tv hosts/newscasters . . . even IF they have law degrees or journalism degrees . . . hair color is JUST a color. ${#emotions_dlg.devil2}$

I said nothing about her intelligence or experience I just said she looks at least her age if not more.

Did anyone say you weren't entitled to your opinion? You are, and I would hope you extend me the same courtesy as to mine.

I disagree that it doesn't play into some of the opinions. And I don't bash any female journalist for her looks. If I think a female journalist is biased, I voice my opinion honestly about it. I don't rag on her blonde hair color. Those things don't matter to me.

Yes I will extend the same courtesy as you did by calling out those who differ in opinion from you. ${#emotions_dlg.rolleyes}$

Listen you got called on your assumption not on your right to give an opinion. Nobody said you do not have the right to your opinion, but making false accusations because someone differs in opinion is not courteous either.

I would never have guessed 66, she looks a good 10 years younger. But that's the danger of putting people in boxes based on their ages. We do it to women, we don't do it to men. People often tell me that I don't look 54. At one time I would say "thank you" but now I say "really, what does 54 look like?".

Do you think I don't remember the horrible things said about her here in 2012? Don't lecture me.

It never occurred to give any thought to her age but now that the idea is here, I'd have guessed her to be around 60, give or take a year or two.

It did occur to me that she has the respect of her professional peers and delivers news that I can rely on.

Um again there ya go basing this on politics not on fact. The FACT is I never said anything about her.

You just want to make this political and it is not but good try. If you think this is a lecture, then maybe you need to step away from here. This is not a lecture it is my opinion. You seem to be revving up for some bias political rant and fight and I am not going to be your target. If you actually have something to base this on then bring it. Here-say about 2012 is not going to stick. I could come up with stuff as well.

The point being you expect everyone to agree with you and when they don't it must be politically motivated. That is just ridiculous.
