And from what I've seen in TV newsrooms, Anchorman is spot-on with his criticism. And it didn't "just happen", it's been going on for at least the last thirty years (when I got into TV). He's absolutely right, and if you want to get a real clue about what's going on in this country, do more than just watch TV news (either broadcast or cable).

Obama didn't speak at a National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago. He did, however, speak at the UNITY convention in Chicago in 2008. (NABJ is one of the four organizations that make up UNITY and did not have its own conference that year.) And he spoke at NABJ's convention the previous year in Las Vegas. John McCain could not have gotten "a smattering of polite applause" at either convention, because he declined to attend either one. Just like a TV anchor to get facts wrong.

That has hurt our town, county, jobs both current and future. It has really been hard on us. Then after twenty five years study, it was announced that silicone implants are safe. My husband said "Who will you get to MAKE them now?" I guess China would still risk it. Dow Texas Division is here in our area. The main people hurt in these huge class action lawsuits, like the employees at Dow, were not even working there when the implants were made in the first place.
