This thread says much more about why DCUM is bad than why Psaki is bad. |
Not sexist. Walter Cronkite only succeeded due to his looks. |
Given that she blatantly lied and gaslight the American public about Biden's mental fitness and insisted he was the sharpest man around, it's pretty nigh impossible to take anything she says seriously. No wonder the audience tuned her out. |
Everyone in that position lies. You must still believe in the tooth fairy |
Oh, this is what you're going with now? NP |
I think she's great. But people want reality TV theatre. |
She left in mid-2022. She may not have seen the big decline. |
No one before has lied at the Karoline Leavett level. |
Im a republican and will watch Maddow. I might only agree with 2% of her takes, but she is interesting and witty, and we all enjoy watching low-key nutty commentators (I'd put Maddow in the same category as say, Candace Owens-- a polemic who veers into unhinged, yet I come back for more).
Psaki is just a DC striver, which is to say that she's too inhibited to say nutty or unhinged thing, too disciplined to show any messy emotions. It's like watching some Chief of Staff at State or DoD lead a meeting. No appeal. |
Unfortunately attractiveness is still number one on the list for all but a handful of female journalists. You can get away with not being cute if you are extremely interesting or have a British accent (Maddow, Amanpour). Otherwise every network woman has to be pretty and the type of woman that men want to sleep with. The only exception I can think of was Katie Couric who was never beautiful or sexy but had perky cheerleader energy. |
And I'll add that this attitude toward female broadcasters starts in journalism school. I have a journalism degree and the broadcast course included a consultation at a very prestigious salon with makeup and styling tips to help the students look good on camera. |

I stopped watching the news. I just can’t. |
Do you honestly believe that the twitchy blonde who does that job now is telling the truth? |
