Actually ... it's not commenting on the content so much this week as it is commenting on the commentators.
I've been here now for almost half a year, and I finally found the closest substitute to Chicago's CLTV (the nearly 24 hour local news channel extraordinaire that was my go-to background during the twelve years living there ... so much so, that it was also my go-to "tell me a bedtime story so I can go to sleep" device) ... it's the local channel 7, which runs local news over and over again throughout the day (ten hours of coverage between 5am and 11pm ).
And I know it's sunny Florida where people are beautiful (by genetic lottery or doctor bill) ... but the morning newswomen seem like they walked in off a night's work on the Orange Blossom Trail, got into hair and makeup, and then got poured into a dress (the image above somehow failed to capture the decolletage traditionally on display).
Don't get me started on the weather women across all the channels ... I swear someone did market research and suggested that lecherous old men are the primary customer base and the way to get ratings. Of course, knowing what I know about the demographics down here ... maybe it's all starting to make sense. Regardless, they do give the *breast* news coverage around!
