Sorry Ugly Betty if I offended you but personally I was shocked. In what way, does Spain not, or hardly not contribute, to the world? I'm assuming you are talking about the present. When I read your comment, I was thinking of general terms and so I instantly started thinking of Goya, Dalì, Picasso, as well as their movies, and I remember watching some lovely movies from the 1960s which are very much admired outside of Spain and at the moment, there's Almodavar. There was this famous composer who died in 1999, I think. Here is the link so that you can hear his music (sooooo moving) http://www.youtube.com/wa...6J2rU&feature=relatedAnother thing that came up was that if Spain hadn't funded Colombus, America wouldn't be known today. Oh and the food! ... Again, these are things that happened in the past but have an enormous impact now. Regarding anchoring the news, personally, I've always wondered why it's such a big deal reading the evening news  . It's what comes before that's much more interesting: studies, researching, writing up articles, interviewing, being in dangerous places ... Anyway, I was just curious ... |

Most journalists who are the anchor/presenter of the evening news tend to have worked their way up. It's not as though Letizia just woke up one day and was hired to present one of Spain's most-watched news programme. She reported on the 2000 US elections, September 11th, the Iraq War etc. News stations don't send "average" reporters to investigate major international news events, no matter how much some people on the board wishes that to be the case! |

You're right - the news anchors do not just "read" the evening news. They have to be real journalists and work their way up and it's one of these very coveted spots that a pool of thousands fight over. Just speaking about the U.S, there are lots of award-winning and respected women journalists eg. Diane Sawyer, Maria Shriver, Meredith Viera, Elizabet Vargas, to name just a few but not a single one of them managed to secure an evening anchor solo position with a major network until Katie Couric It really is THAT hard..Anyway, I was just curious ... |

Yes, I know Royal Observer and that's why I didn' use the word "discover" or "arrive" in the sentence. It's the association of Columbus and America which comes automatic to most people. Sorry for the misunderstandingAgain, these are things that happened in the past but have an enormous impact now.

I'm curious about this Katie Couric: is she admired or not? Anyway, I was just curious ... |

I think Katie Couric is respected within the journalism community but I'm not a big fan personally.

Katie Couric is a good journalist, not the best, not the worst.

That argument doesn't work though because if Felipe was going to "settle" for anybody it certainly would not have been a career woman like Letizia....
The argument works perfectly. People make a big deal that she had a career. Big friggin deal. There are a million succesful journalists so people like her are ten a penny. Spain isn't a leading country so she hasn't proven herself amongst international journalists so her talent and ability is questionable. She is also obviously lacking in any morals and screwed around with her teacher/ex-husnand and her parents are pretty useless since they didn't even try to stop it. He was pressured to get married and she was convenient. In five years they will be living seperate lives. Five years have passed by and Felipe and Letizia are still together. |

This last picture is extra sweet especially considering they dont do PDA like Westerners do back in Bhutan. |

With all due respect -- and yes I am biased because I am a former Bloomberger myself -- Letizia worked for Beloomberg, which is one of the most elite and prestigious news organizations in the world. It is very very difficult to be hired by Bloomberg and only people with impeccable credentials ever work there. So she cannot be dismissed as a run-of-the-mill journalist. And by the way, MSNBC's superstar Stephanie Ruhle is also a Bloomberg alumna.
