I was watching the usual talking heads at the various channels about the current state of affairs in our political world and noticed something that seems to have crept up on me. The voices and faces of the news-makers are changing, they are getting younger and more business-like in their reporting and observations. Whether you support the left or right, a new generation has appeared!
My wife agrees with me |
Watching this morning there was Natasha Bertrand, the
reporter for the Atlantic giving her report and views on the conditions of and
fortunes of the current state in Washington D.C. Natasha should not be crossing
the street by herself, and I worried that her mother has sent her out like that
all alone!
She was dressed smartly, is very cute and even said stuff
that I could understand and agree with, but good God almighty, should she be
allowed to do this unsupervised.
I see male reporters as well, sharply cut hair, dressed to
the nines and spewing out the kind of opinions that should be left to the old
men to voice: not these pubescent young harmonium-charged preschoolers of
Harvard and Yale.
But then whom am I kidding? I know that I am covertly a
relic, and I am proud that I’m the only one who knows it. Everyone else
mistakes me for a middle-aged up and coming man of the future.
The World is a changing, for the better, I guess, as the
younger generation seems more peaceful, considerate and taking hold of the
future like never before. I just wish to caution that the future must lie in
the cell phones they are all peering into!
