They have been hired to have a certain look while they read the TelePrompter a certain way. They rise to the top for being able to do it consistently, whether talking about a twelve car pileup or a heartwarming puppy story. This disconnectedness looks odd. Espeecially the ones with nerve-deadened foreheads from Botox.

I think the true conspiracy lives with the editorial or production people. News anchors are just good readers and speakers. Once they get to the national level their power allows them to mess with normal folks like Matt Lauer did, but most of the time I bet they're just happy to have a job - they don't even have to get out and find news!
