Dream Job: News Anchor
Wow. It's been a long time since Prompter Monkey has read such a dim-witted TV fluff piece. Apparently Jonathan Mann, an anchor for CNN International, has the best gig in America. He says anchoring "is probably one of the lucrative jobs in the television industry." No kidding. The Monkey assumes that allows him to gloss over one of the big drawbacks of anchoring: personal grooming. According to the article, Mann is constantly aware that his tie must be straight, his hair sprayed into place, and his face powdered. He rues the fact that "whatever preparation you bring to your work, people make judgments about your work very quickly and very superficially."
Right on, Mann!
