This past year has been a remarkable one in the career of veteran journalist Candy Crowley. The Washington Post<\/a><\/em> reports that Crowley’s new assignment as anchor of CNN\u2019s popular Sunday morning State of the Union<\/em> program has been applauded by the public and media alike because of her sophisticated political observation, skillful speech, and determined fairness.<\/p>\n

She is not the usual type of TV anchor. These days, anchors are too often brash and opinionated, with more than a touch of Hollywood flash. They are just another brand of celebrity.<\/p>\n

Crowley is clearly a different breed. As a frequent viewer of her show, I find that Crowley embodies the intelligent, broad-minded reporter who can easily handle a nuanced conversation expressly devoid of personal bias.<\/p>\n

The Washington Post<\/em> writes: \u201cCrowley is beloved inside the halls of CNN and roundly respected in official Washington, a veteran political reporter who works hard and knows her stuff\u2026. Friends and colleagues describe her as brilliant and hilarious\u2026. This is a woman who has been a vegetarian for 15 years and kneels to meditate twice a day, every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"candy-crowly-show\"Two years ago, before she started practicing the Transcendental Meditation technique<\/a>, things were a bit different for Crowley. A veteran of eight presidential campaigns, she had begun showing signs of \u201cbattle fatigue\u201d from relentless deadlines and incessant travels. So in the aftermath of the brutal 2008 presidential election<\/a> cycle, Crowley decided it was time to make some significant personal changes to regain her health and resilience. One of the main changes was to learn the TM\u00ae<\/sup> technique and make it a part of her daily routine.<\/p>\n

Early this year the LA Times<\/em> interviewed Crowley<\/a> and quoted her as saying that of all the new things she has adopted to make her life healthier and better, the Transcendental Meditation program has made the biggest difference.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s a hard thing to describe, but I find that my thought is clearer,” Crowley recently told the Washington Post<\/em>. “I still get mad. I still get upset. But I let it go more quickly.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And that has to be good news for a high-profile television anchor covering the outrage of Washington politics.<\/p>\n
