What is up with Fox News and all the sexified bimbo reporter

I WANT EQUITY!!!!!!!! Where are the hot male TV reporters? Why is it only the women?

HERE HERE! It's time to get rid of the Ken dolls with plastic hair... Who wants to hear news from ugly people anyway? I'm not watching news to learn anything, I just want to get aroused.





Get this man to host Fox News and I'll even watch it. Who cares if what he says is crap! I'll just turn the volume down!

Sounds about right.. It's OK for the men to be attractive but not the women. Now I get it..

It's a joke, Lucas.

I'll jump in here.

Robin Meade - CNN


Betty Nguyen - CNN


Those are just two quick searches, I'm sure I can find more.

Judge, they definately qualify, especially Robin Meade , but since they are on a left wing network (CNN) they may not qualily on some "bimbos" list, it may take the Fox Network only to qualify.

I think it is pretty obvious that both side are going the Barbie Girl route to amp up viewership. It is one thing to have an attractive host who is well dressed and made up but when you go to having them strut around in skirts so short their butts are barely covered, then the content is cheapened and bastardized to the point of the shows losing much respectability.

Here's a few more.

Soledad O'Brien - CNN



Katie Couric - CBS


Another of Katie:


Contessa Brewer - MSNBC


I think I've made my point.

I doubt Contessa was licking her lips for the camera there. Freeze framing someones face can make all sorts of ridiculous faces...


I doubt McCain was attempting to molest Barack in this pic.

And thank you Wyatt. Your leveled headed words are correct. Even so, Fox is the leader of the pack when it comes to short skirts and high heels per day.

It's called humor.

For me, I think that it's a realization. I honestly had not ever paid attention to the short skirts and insanely high heels.

I think that certainly brains can come with beauty and obviously the other way around. And I think that people concentrate way too much on what women politicians (and news reporters) wear and look like. We saw that with both Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin in the last election.

I was half-joking earlier, but really...why is this only a female issue? Seriously, why don't we see many young, well-build male news reporters. Most of them are older and though some are distinguished and nice-looking, there's still not a Sean Connery out there. What is it about the demographics for most news networks that they want young, beautiful women and older, more stately men?

True. And men in thongs serving them grapes. It's probably only about ten years off. They already have naked news in some places.

It's because the majority of the audience (especially Fox) are men. They are going to cater to their audience. You can also tell a lot about who a shows main audience is by their advertisers. That's why you see so many get rich quick type ads on fox, along with hair club for men and impotency meds. Each network caters to their main audience to keep them "turned on".

Question: Why do people who hate Fox News and Rush watch and listen to the programs all the time.. I don't watch anything I hate so much so it just seems odd to me..

At first I thought this pick was Marisa Tomei (however you spell her last name).

What if you had to wake up to this every morning.
