We do not feel sorry for this "lost generation" of anchorpoops. We are told that to deprive a MARKET -- I mean, the viewers of second- and third-string faces is a calamity: “Basically, you replace someone who knows City Hall with someone who can’t find it.” Most of these news noses have not been near City Hall since they got their jobs. We've said it before: the purpose of a PROFIT CENTER is to make big bucks and lure the unsuspecting into the Wheel of Fortune/JEOPARDY!!!!! block and into prime time. It is NOT to inform people. To that end half your typical PROFIT CENTER is prepackaged stuff; the rest is weather and sports, and a few minutes for the police blotter. Where's the public service in that? Yet even in the stiff pungent wind of the public disservice they perform these faces maintain their Ted Baxter fantasies of DOING something. A veterinary technician does more of a public service tending to sick pets than even the most overpaid anchorpoop performs by nightly intoning, "Good evening and here's what's happening: A shooting spree on the West Side has left two dead and...." As SUMNERS are discovering too late for their investments, ANYONE can be an ANCHORPOOP -- and future vets' helpers putting on the brave...face appear to be discovering it a bit late too.
