I'm finding something here and a couple of threads over a matter of concern.

One woman spends her working life in front of mass audiences pandering to the lowest common denominator, poking her nose into the sleaziest of situations, producing idiotic sloganising (eg "Talk to the hand, sister, the head ain't listening" - although that exact slogan could have been some other chat show hostess) - and generally encouraging people NOT to think.

Another woman spends her working life in front of mass audiences promoting the dignity of humankind, putting light on injustice and folly, with intelligent use of words, and generally encouraging people to think and consider others.

Yet the endorsement of the former is seen as a political bonus, but that of the latter as an albatross.
