An unfortunate and scary trend in cable news is developing and should be nipped in the bud asap. No, it is not the seemingly hip back-and-forth style "gotcha" segments between cable "news" shows like Comedy Central's Daily Show with Jon Stewart, or whatever progressive miscreant on MSNBC has with Fox News. No, it is much more hideous and detrimental to the American psyche than that. I am talking about the extremely unnecessary and inane practice of putting the offspring of news anchors or personalities on the tube. Maybe a good five cent cigar isn't what the American people need anymore, but I can assure you we do not need anymore Doocy!
I don't know how long Peter Doocy, the son of Fox & Friends' Steve Doocy has been an on air contributor to Fox News, but seeing him yesterday was enough for me. Ditto to the cherubic Luke Russert, the son of the late Meet the Press host Tim Russert. What began innocently enough several years ago, with Fox News' Chris Wallace following in the footsteps of his dad Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes fame, has escalated into theatre of the absurd. Why must the American audience be subjected to what anyone besides their immediate family see as the equivalent to a performance in an elementary school recital? Enough with the nepotistic practices of cable news programming.
