OK, as a broadcasting guy from the late 60s I can tell you that ZERO fat women were behind the desk in TV news. When black women came into hiring in the 80s they were rare and normal weight.
Then Oprah changed everything. Fat women could be on TV and today LOTS of black news and weather casters on local TV are fat black women.
However, there are still very few white fat females on TV.
Program directors admitted to me back then 'We don't hire fat women and we tell those who audition to lose 20 pounds and come back.'

I have openly asked on many occasions on this forum where did the journalists all go..

still wonder. We went from a vigorous journalistic environment to having only new graduates of communist journo schools, then even less

Today I hear a reporter on a local talk show speaking about the demise of newspapers. He kept talking about a period of time, early 2000's, when, quite suddenly, the experienced journalists just stopped getting bylines.

Then just disappeared

Sounds very Sorosy... and fits this whole marxist takeover we are experiencing, this concerted lack of truthfulness and candor.

This totalitarian control and withholding of truth; of activities; of crime; of tyranny...

Hadn't thought much about it, but that is certainly true of CNBC/Bloomberg (basically my only exposure to TV newscasting). In fact coincidentally, today CNBC trotted out a sector reporter who looked like a sightly less fat albeit bespeckled version of Cass Elliot. I found myself thinking "she'd better really have a handle on the subject matter," which was kind of revealing.
