Guess what channel is default where I work?
Is it me or is Anjali Rao the hottest real anchor ever? I’ve been thinking about it (it’s not like I have a lot of free time but let me put it this way: if ass is in gear then brain is in neutral) and I’ve come to the conclusion that CNNi’s marketing plan is to dominate international news by recruiting only the most beautiful journalists.
I mean think about it: you’re traveling the world and you need news. You’re already in a self-selected crowd. You must by definition be smart enough to navigate a modern airport and you’re driven enough to voluntarily put on the news. So CNNi puts on gorgeous reporters who report actual news. Not only are you glued to the screen but there’s no guilt about ogling while you should be getting better informed. It’s genius!
Alternately, every competent journalist who isn’t working on the EST timezone is smoking. While Chris Matthews and Larry King may support this option I’m skeptical.
Uh. Hi, Honey. I think if anything this should prove I’m behaving myself out here. Satisfied people don’t forget to blink during newscasts...
