Female chauvinist pigs?

I usually watch two national news broadcasts, CBS and NBC. Lately, something has been nagging me about CBS's news show anchored by Katie Couric (and all news broadcasts are shows). Tonight it finally hit me. Most stories, and on some days it seems all stories, are reported by female reporters.
Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a clause in Katie's contract that says she can select who reports what? Doesn't she believe in diversity?

Shouldn't the subject be: Chauvinist sows?

I don't care. I don't watch national network news broadcasts.

TV is so low information.

True, but you have to think of the cumulative, osmotic effect on the masses of excessive displays of girl power.

Schlafly holds the position that men and women are fundamentally different,...
A true scientist then, relying on observational evidence.
