Examples of anchorman in a Sentence
Is your favorite news anchorman secured to any solid stancion on the Television Venue?
Unless you are going to ask every anchorman on every news channel about the people who pay for advertising on their shows, then there is definitely a double standard there, if you are going to ask so much of certain sportspeople and not others, especially when there are already energy companies within the peloton and not a word was said to those teams or those riders then I don't think it is fair.
