Origin

My guess that i created the bio bcz someone else put her at List of people by name:Park#Parkers (a now deleted page) proves wrong: i added the entry

*Parkerson, Jo, British journalist

at 20:53, 4 August 2005. Some serious poking around makes this scenario seem likely:

I added a bunch of people to that page from the then current page for Parker, thinking ahead as i did so about why a surname such as Parker Smith should precede one such as Parkerby.
I probably looked at the alphabetized version of the list all but the rarest American surnames, and found Parkerson there.
If so, i presumably searched WP for that name, coming up with the then current revision of LBC,
... created the stub, based on that article, at 20:39, 4 August 2005,
(then discovered the chaotic and bizarre result of my 20:14 edit, set to work repairing it, and in the same edit cleaned up some odds and ends, and) ...
... added her to the list at 20:53, 4 August 2005.

(On the 27th -- perhaps having detected my stub was linked only from the list -- a colleague summarized "May as well wikfy all presenter names, red links are nothing to be scared of" in linking it and others from LBC, and did so; her blue link may have been abandoned in a mass unlinking of presumably red-linked companions, when LBC was later split and her mention moved to LBC 97.3.)

Wolf Blitzer

I find that

the doubly tagged Wolf Blitzer 'graph was added as one of the IP-user's 20-minute career of 6 unconstructive edits,
a hundred hits on
Jo OR Parkerson Wolf OR Blitzer Mayan

are clearly unrelated to any such statement
the handful of hits on
"Jo Parkerson" "Wolf Blitzer"

either duplicated our bio, actually mention only one of them, or are long lists of journalists.

The passage

On an interview with Wolf Blitzer, Jo Parkerson was asked as to whether she would rather analyze fashion trainwrecks or social constructs of the Mayan society. Answering the question with a twinkle in her eye, Parkerson famously quipped, "both!"

is inherently implausible in attributing the question to Blitzer, in claiming observation of an eye twinkling, and in claiming fame for the pedestrian response. It deserves no further consideration, and i am removing it.
