Does the faces on CNN reflect "affirmative action" or pure merit?

Question

Did I say faces? On further inspection this evening, make that f***s. CNN is on a real tear. Yuk!

Answer 1

Neither, they reflect what corporate America/corporate news think the American people want to watch.

There could be a 400 pound woman with a mustache who is the best and least biased news reporter the world has ever seen.  No one is going to put her on.

Answer 2

They are all talking heads (same with fox).  Bernard Shaw was the best newscaster CNN ever had--too bad he retired.

Sorry, I'm not sure about the answer--my guess is that there is some AA, but that is not a bad thing necessarily.  Why should just rich white people who spent their whole life in the burbs get jobs?

Answer 3

pure merit

Answer 4

Some are very hot looking females.
