If you hire what you feel is the "best" talent, nobody can touch you.
You might as well be whining about being 88 years old and being passed over for hosting teen music, or a former NFL player not being cast for a Summers Eve spot... or maybe you think you're right for the part, but you're too rigid to work with. There are a thousand reasons why they hire who they hire...
But the fact is, it's their business to fly or fail, and talking about issues like this is just plain stupid.
You find the situations that are right for you, and you get work if you have talent and preferred aesthetics that they think they can market. Period.
Take this argument to NPR or PBS, where federal funding more fits this silly argument.
