  Anchors Aweigh
Network television news anchors are biased against conservatives and we can all lose sleep at night, safe in the knowledge that this truth is universal.
In the age of Ed Murrow, Walter Cronkite, and David Brinkley, the network news "anchor" (a term coined for Cronkite during convention coverage in the 50's) was likely an old-school print reporter with years of experience and understanding of news coverage.
An anchor valued more for image than professionalism, responsible for less and less real news reporting, and encouraged to maximize exposure to benefit the network, is soon bigger than the network he or she represents.
