Dogwalk: Anchor Away?

I don’t think there is a news anchor on television today that will ever have the gravitas of Walter Cronkite, or the long gone Chet Huntley/David Brinkley team or many of the others who pioneered the roll of news anchor as I was growing up. The only one we have now that was ever actually a newsman is Brian Williams and he’s been reduced to little more than a news reader. As for the women? How can you consider someone who graduated from the ranks of Today or Good Morning America a news man? Oops - news woman. To me they come across as news ‘light’. When in serious mode they tend to strike me as maudlin/Dogwalk Musings. More here .

Question: Whi is your favorite, national, female news anchor? Or newscaster?
