Hard to believe....

I thought she was moving to a different time with her own show.
She is one of the best at Commercials Not News.

She is going to do some other things and has at least 4 offers right now. But she was still fired.

Way back in early nineties she was one of the anchors on the "Channel One" broadcasts that came in to high schools with news for kids. Along with an abundance of commercials. Our district bought into the "bargain" because the company doing it furnished TV sets for each classroom. Well almost all.

They put tvs in every class room that was having class at the time. When they first put them in, I didn't have a first hour class as that was my planning hour. Thus I didn't get a TV. Then a couple years later my schedule changed so I had a first hour class . But it took sometime for them to install a TV.

We were required to stop everything we were doing to air the broadcast. We couldn't teach. I think it was eleven minutes or something. The news was good but the kids were subjected to those commercials . I was one who vehemently opposed to forcing the kids to watch those ads. All in order for the school to get freakin tvs.

So that's what I remember when I see Soledad on TV. But I always liked here even tho she showed her bias.

As much as lector hannity?

Guess that s/b hannity lector, but I'm sure you knew who I meant.

Ahh.. so you remember her based on some crappy deal a news station made with the school where you worked. How fair and unbiased you are...
As far as the comment about her showing her bias... they ALL do.
Was it really for the school to get a few tvs... or were they trying something new and different to teach kids?
You sure have a way with dialing in the crappy negative outlook on just about everything. Sorry your situation in life has made you so dour. You didn't used to be like this.

I didn't see Mr. B's post as so negative. He said he liked the news and I don't doubt he acknowledges other announcers bias. Just seemed to me to be an anecdote that the Soledad post made him think of.

Seems everyone else stayed out of this and I who only jumps in here occasionally gives his two cents. Ah well

There was a time when there was Soledad OBrien and another unrelated OBrien co-anchoring. Always got a kick out of that. I always liked her and will miss her. Doubt I'll be seeing much of her as I have little TV options for internat'l news besides CNN.

Could be... could be.
