Reply to comment by valhalla_jordan in TIL that CBS offered actress Candice Bergen to work as a journalist after "Murphy Brown". She declined, not wanting to blur between actor and journalist. by DragonTonguePunch

Maybe she thought it would be WILDLY disrespectful to trained journalists...people who spent years in school and long careers honing their craft. Probably also thought that confusing the general public wasn't the best idea in the world. And look, she was right. We elected a reality show host.

I'm sure she COULD do it. But you CAN do lots of things you shouldn't do.

Would it be disrespectful to electricians if she decided to become an electrician? They’ve spent years honing their craft.

And I really don’t what Trump has to do with it. He’s not really an actor and he’s definitely not a journalist. I think the public can grasp that people can wear multiple hats.
