Today's magic word...

Nepotism (nep⋅o⋅tism) is favouritism granted to relatives or friends, without regard to their merit The word nepotism is from the Latin word nepos (meaning "nephew" or "grandchild").

I'm sure this does not apply to people on TV nowadays, for the simple reason that these people have inherited the genius and talent genes from their parents, and they will, no doubt, pass these on to their siblings in due course, and everything else is just coincidental..

You might be talented, but without having the right connections, relatives, friends and genes, you are, and you will remain, a nothing...
