Too De Muir?

With David Muir's ascension to the top of "ABC World News," the Internet is buzzing with opinions about the handsome anchorman, which has been a windfall of traffic to my blog thanks to my post about possible plastic surgery HERE, his hunky muscles HERE, just how handsome he is HERE, what he would look like with a hairy chest HERE and how it's an open secret he's gay HERE.

My friend Jim writes:

As I read this New York Times story about Muir starting as one of the Big Three news anchors this week, I thought it was odd the paper didn't mention that he's gay. After all, that's another huge first in big-time broadcast journalism. Anderson Cooper's out, of course, but he's not at broadcasting's pinnacle. Then I Googled around and discovered that, while it's an open secret in New York City's gay community, Muir has never actually confirmed it. 

And the media webiste NewsBlues opines:

"His earnestness seems practiced. His stories always seem to revolve around him as a main character. In fact, his self-absorbed presentation captures a younger generation's image of what a TV reporter should be. In the age of social media, news is "all about me."

What do you think of David Muir -- and do you think his sexuality needs to be addressed?

Hot for Johnson

  With thanks to horny Ed, who points us to Whit Johnson, an anchor and general assignment reporter at the NBC affiliate in Southern California.

His bio says the California native graduated with a B.A. degree in Television and Radio Broadcasting from San Francisco State University. He is an avid soccer player and world traveler. He is married to anchor/reporter Andrea Fujii, and together, they have a daughter.
