103. well I don't really think the news will get any better if less attractive people reported it.
sure, less "-tainment" and more "-info" would be great, but we're not gonna get it by complaining that all of the reporters are attractive. That's not teh way to fix institutional gender discimination OR watered-down infotainment news.

I don't really care if I stray off-topic; if I were going to address every point the OP made I would be many hours and pages. I just wanted to have a discussion about the role of physical attraction in media and how people react to it.
