Cool News, Sweet Anchors
All that fuss for another news channel that only promised to present as a 'balance' to the usual fare that assure they are neutral but whom many viewers see as otherwise. So, to restore balance to the interpretation and presentation of news stories, the CRTC permitted the presence, albeit more muted than the usual networks, of Sun News Network.
The hysteria is done and over with. Sun News is now a current reality. Their presence offers Canadians another choice, another angle, another perspective. It's still news. People can take from what is being presented what they will. Or leave it where it is. Some, having visited out of curiosity, have decided it's simply not for them.
The emphasis on casual clothing for the attractive young female news anchors appeals to some (women, of course) as downplaying the intelligence of women. It isn't at all seemly, they feel, to see lissome young women baring their arms, sporting short-short skirts. Too distracting, too demeaning. Bare arms?
Seems that every time we see Michelle Obama, First Lady of the great United States of America, no intellectual lightweight herself, a fully capable professional, her firm fairly young arms are bare. No one thinks of her as being flighty and mind-addled as a result. She simply has her personal sense of style. Apparent when she is seen in public.
Why slight attractive young news anchors on Sun News Network, as though their garb diminishes their capabilities to produce thoughtful presentations? And what's really wrong with a little light-hearted exchange of observations now and again among them and their professional peers?
The sober-sided Liberals seem to like the new network. They've lavished their election advertisements on the network. "Scary Harper" ads are there in living colour. Sun News must, then have the approval of the Liberals. The Conservative network's presentation doesn't seem to unduly bother them.
A few Liberal MPs even presented for the first, introductory news cycle. And they do appear to have some serious journalistic talent in there, with their political program. So there, one and all, take a deep breath, exhale, relax.
