Liza LaFlamme, the television newscaster in Canada was "blindsided." What does it mean by blindsided? OMG! I don't really know the whole, complete story but there are news that she was "fired" because of her age and about sexism? What?
Liza LaFlamme is only 58 years old, not 65 years old. The retirement age is age 65 in Canada.
I'm 59 years old and I'm older by one year. I don't feel old. I don't really look old. Whatever!
I usually watch news on TV at 10 pm time slot schedule and it was Liza the newscaster doing her job diligently as usual for the past, hmm...more than 10 years? I can't remember how long she was the newscaster on CTV but she is professional. She's not that any other newscaster calling for attention as in she is diong her job in a very "professional manner." No adlibs, no pompous lavish, attention getter attire. No scandal. It's just plain work of delivering the news to Canadian viewers. She's not that stupid unlike some other newscasters who keep asking stupid questions on and on, as in being repetitious and acting as if they have all the knowledge but just "the show off arrogance."
Hmm, maybe it's totally different now. Maybe the news aired on 10 pm are being watched by kids or younger gen X. I doubt it. Younger generation do not watch news on TV. Old people do, mostly retirees. Old people are not really into younger newscasters on TV. They lack the seriousness of what news should be delivered...seriously.
You know Carol MacNeil of CBC news network? She's not that old but she already retired from CBC Network. I can't believe it. She's the same professional, veteran newscaster without scandal just being ethical in the works of news broadcasting and journalism.
You think that the world needs journalists and newscasters that can bring their own scandal in the news network? You think that adding extra baloneys in newscasting is great for journalism? That's not NEWS NETWORK that everyone needs. You should just produce a show that show off your own stunts. Bungee jump, dive at the Mariana trench, paraglide or parachute from an airplane down to Macchu Pichu. Go have your own stunts on your own TV show not TV NEWS.
