Most arguments over which cable news anchors are hosting political coverage resolves around folks like Keith Olbermann and Shepard Smith — obvious pundits with biased opinions who, if you ask a Journalism Ethics 101 professor, have no business reporting hard news.

And then there's this late-night blog post from Baltimore Sun TV critic David Zurawik, which doesn't go after a pundit, but rather CNN's Campbell Brown, who he says CNN had "no need" for during its Super Tuesday coverage, and that including her was the network's "big mistake" of the night.

Also: Zurawik might be a sexist bigot.

"First, CNN had no need for another featured anchor," he writes. "Wolf Blitzer and Anderson Cooper have been doing an outstanding job of keeping the political telecasts moving swiftly from one location and field reporter to another, one expert to the next. And who has more experts and field reporters than CNN?"

But it's not just the overcrowding that irked Zurawik. It's that the screen was stuffed with a woman "so heavily made up" (uh, have you seen Chris Matthews?) "and dressed to look like someone headed for a cocktail party instead of an anchor chair." Also: This was Brown's first on-air appearance on the network since maternity leave.

As if that weren't enough, Zurawik claims the runner-up for "most unwelcome Super Tuesday add-on" was ABC's Diane Sawyer.

Zurawik's main argument is this: The less personality during the coverage, the better. And women, apparently, just add too much pizzazz for viewers to understand CNN's color-coded maps.
