NEW YORK (AP) - With all the women in television news on both sides of the camera, you would think sexism was an issue relegated to the 20th Century.
Yet recently a CBS News executive, herself a pioneer for women in the industry, said she believed that Katie Couric was having trouble catching on with the public as "CBS Evening News" anchor because she was the first solo female anchor for a network nightly news show.
CNN's male chief was also caught referring first to a woman's looks when asked why she got an important anchor job. And "The Daily Show" aired a wickedly funny segment on all the women in cable news who are — there's no other way to put it — babe-a-liscious.
