19. Are you asking, "Why are only women anchors mentioned, not any males?" or

Friday

is it really the case that there are no male anchors affected?

Is there a disproportionate representation or skew between M and F anchors?

Might the F anchors earn disproportionately much?

I don't (know that I) have access to MSNBC so I can honestly say that apart from small excerpts posted here for the various hosts, I've never seen them and honestly don't know what the MSNBC lineup is for talk shows.

(Still, $30 million/year for being a talk-show host? I wouldn't know what to do with $1M/year. Sure, I could find a use for it for the first year--nicer house or at least a nicer neighborhood, hybrid car, upgrade instruments, but otherwise ...? I assume that host has never said, "Wait, how much money is that guy raking in each year? Nobody needs that kind of money!" that wasn't a punch line.)
