In an ugly world, we need ugly newsreaders

Is it sexist to lament the current proliferation of female newsreaders on television? I don’t think so. I think it’s the opposite. What we should be concerned about is the feminisation of television newsreading. And by feminisation, I mean a preoccupation with presentation, aesthetics, comforting and euphemism. News should be masculine. It should be nasty, hard and horrible. It should tell it as it is and, most of all, it should not endeavour to entertain.
