Up until recently, I would have whole-heartedly agreed with you on this statement. However, my recent change of heart came via a talk show I listen to on XM, although I can't remember which one, as I have over a dozen I flip through during the course of the day... Black this-or-that (Congressional Caucus, Student Union, etc) don't necessarily do this based on race, as much as perceived ethnic background. The term 'Black' can be viewed as both, as opposed to white, which pretty much is strictly race. It would almost be on par with an Irish Congressional Caucus, or maybe a Baptist Student Union. Both have some sort of common background.

A White Student Union, however, would incorporate backgrounds so varied they would invariably have more subsets than people (Irish, Italian, Christian, Jewish, Blondes?, Anarchists, Liberals, Conservatives, Libertarians (lest I get called out for ALB *grin*).

That said, white I know that the CBC doesn't reflect the views of all Blacks, I know that they put on those airs, and pretend to, even if all they do is keep a brutha down.

ROTFLMAO

Since when do stay at home women want to listen to a man...that's why they stay at home. The panel is appropriate for the show's target audience.

Not sure of the liberal bias issue here.

Gee, I thought that was the function of all-male clubs - the ones the government forced to accept women. So, is it ok to discriminate as long as one is up front about it?

All of daytime television (and rapidly all of television in general) is geared toward expressing women’s views so the selection of a host is almost irrelevant.  The more interesting question is why virtually all of television geared toward women comes almost exclusively from a liberal point of view.  Shows like the View and Oprah would have us believe that all women think abortion is a sacrament, Hillary is a viable presidential candidate and government handouts are essential.  Where are the dissenting voices?  Why doesn’t Barbara Walters put Ann Coulter on for a week as one of the View Panelists?  I can only assume it is to create a liberal thought process in the women who watch these shows.  Why else is a mental midget like Rosie O’Donnell presented as some sort of invincible powerhouse with only token opposition from an Elizabeth Hasselbeck?

I heard about a poll a few months ago in which over 40% of otherwise intelligent women believed they were just one paycheck away from being a bag lady.  There was no corresponding response from men.  Why did these women have so little faith in the economy and their own abilities?  One theory is that it’s because Oprah told them to.   To a certain extent I see this behavior in my own wife.  She will attempt to preemptively dismiss my arguments because I am a “Conservative”.  She sees herself as a liberal, but when I pressed her on specific points we agree on about 90% of the issues with the exception of the Iraq War. Why should this create a massive Liberal\Conservative schism between us?  I have to wonder to what extent the daytime programming geared toward women contributes to this.

So where does Drew Carey fit into that scenario?
