NO ONE CARED!
FOX has cancelled "Anchorwoman" after one episode.ONE EPISODE.
Many, many oh-so-important people in our oh-so-important news business were gnashing their pearly whites over this affront to local television news, to the women who anchor that news, to journalism, to GOD AND COUNTRY, DAMMIT!
Since FOX announced the reality show about a model's makeover into a news anchor at a teeny tiny Texas TV station, I've read dozens of oh-so-important articles decrying FOX, the management of the teeny tiny Texas TV station, and Ms. Lauren Jones herself, whose resume includes being one of "Barker's Beauties" on "The Price is Right" and a WWE diva.
BUT NO ONE CARED! LESS THAN 3-MILLION PEOPLE WATCHED THE SHOW! IT'S BEEN CONSIGNED TO WEB SITE HELL!
All the journalistic teeth-gnashing and hand-wringing apparently made the assumption that you all care about the business of local television news.
Why would you?
The very people paid to take a broad look at our world turned out to be terribly myopic.
A fine, fine lesson to be learned.
Nobody cares about the labor pains. They just want to see the baby.

Just goes to show you why were in what were in when you can't try something else in your life without some others damming you before you get out of the box
Too much blood-letting on this one.
