Yesterday’s story in the New York Times about pharmaceutical firms hiring university cheerleaders as sales reps left out an important fact — what did these women major in? Marketing? Pharmacology? Biology? English? Why the omission? Was it to make the women look like bimbos and position the pharmaceutical firms that hire them as pimps? I guess that the newspaper that coined the phrase “All the news that’s fit to print” didn’t have enough room to fit in some relevant facts.
