Why Is 24-Hour Cable News "Blondes Reporting on Missing Blondes"?

From Romenesko via New York Magazine:

Koppel might do an HBO show called “The F-ing Media”

Ted Koppel and producer Tom Bettag are hoping to launch their HBO series with a critical look at TV news. (The cable-channel deal isn’t signed yet.) “This is something you can’t do at ABC,” says Bettag. “You’d be accused of fouling your own nest or criticizing your competitors. We have an opportunity in a new venue. TV never looks at itself hard. We want to answer such questions as, ‘Why is 24-hour cable news “blondes reporting on missing blondes”?’”
