I've really lost respect for Chris (getting too old for this maybe?). Rachel and Lawrence are the highlights of my evening, even when I don't agree with them.Quote:

Then an ABC affiliate hired her as a DC reporter before she was hired by FOX.
The shallow crowd may not see beyond her looks. But she has a record of hard reporting ;and does not display an obvious political bias. On election night ,Karl Rove challenged the early projection that the emperor won . She asked him :
"Is this just math that you do as a Republican to make yourself feel better? Or is this real?" When you get past your bias towards the network you will see that they are closer to 'fair and balanced ' than the official network of the emperor ,MSNBC
Well that issue started here by one of yours:Quote:

Hmmm. I have a master's too and have written four traditionally published books, was asked by the Chicago Historical Society to write an article that has been used in an untold number of bibliographies, am a Wikipedia footnote, have written articles for an autism magazine, and was a librarian for 30 years. Maybe Fox would consider hiring me.Quote:

If it comes to her, or "Mountain Men", or "Haunted Mine", she loses every time. Hell my wife loses on Sunday to football... I think?
Again, I also described her as "tenacious" and she is every bit that, not afraid to take on the good ol' Republican boys which I would think should be a trait you'd admire. But then we aren't the ones trying to diminish her as nothing but boobs and a short skirt.Quote:

Oh please, please, please tell Megyn that. I want to see her eviscerate you.Quote:

More hard hitting news reporting from Megyn: (you can start at 4 minutes)
And here are some other Fox News anchors:
She would agree that you see her as nothing more than a sex object? Wow, you really are deluded.Quote:

See? That's the only contribution you have here - the straw man fallacy: "To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by replacing it with a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition (the "straw man"), and to refute it, without ever having actually refuted the original position."Quote:

I'm assuming you played none of the videos/audio, right? Or else you wouldn't have posted that.
Yes, the other video's reveal a lot about the other probable requirements of the job. Being symbols of male appreciation seems to be part of the job as well. Just going through the other clips it seems that 'leg shots' are somewhat overdone.Quote:

And at MSNBC the requirement is ranting until you internally combust . (Rachel Madcow being the exception... and the faux "conservative " on the morning Schmo).Quote:

What everyone needs to realize is that despite the claim that these are "news " networks ;the vast majority of their format is commentary and debate . When that is realized then their formats are better understood. You probably don't want me to get started on "standards of journalism". When we only had a choice of 3 major networks ,the so called gatekeepers of truth " were hardly unbiased . They disguised their biases in a straight news reporting format . But their biases were still there . The difference was that there was no counter-point .
I much prefer today where the consumer has choice in coverage.

Yes, it is an excellent choice. No doubt you are bound to get someways close to the truth with that type of 'choice'.
Tom have a look at what this type of choice is giving you.
Yes I have . As you might have noticed in my responses , I don't restrict my options . For one thing ,most of the news I read comes from a variety of on line sources.. and most of them are primary sources, (if you consider the major news outlets as "primary") ,or reference them.Quote:

You forgot the sarcasm font . I suppose 'all the news the government sees fit to report ' is a much better option.Quote:

Most people go to the site that that best suits their political beliefs. This is pretty evident here. For example, far right wingers have a tendency to go to far right wing sources to confirm their preconceived beliefs. In a similar fashion left wingers go to those sources that support their beliefs.Quote:

Tom, you are drawing a false dichotomy again. It doesn't have to be one or the other. So, no I don't believe that government gives us all the news we need to know.
[/QUOTE]
If you want to draw that dichotomy then in the end it is just really Hobson's choice
Apparently you haven't seen much either. They have plenty of average or worse looking contributors and for some of us it's also a matter presentation. I'd rather watch someone who is entertaining, engaging and humorous than someone who is pompous, snide and/or ranting until their spleen bursts.Quote:

Hmmmm... I seem to think they have OTHER similarities besides ugliness. I wonder what that might be?

I think you may have missed ex's point. But in a way you reinforced it.Quote:

Before Colmes went off the rail progressive ,he hosted a morning drive time radio show here in NY . He was very entertaining . He is good at the roles he plays . On Fox he plays foil ,and he's good at it too. However ,his radio show on progressive radio is a snoozer. He should listen to some of his tapes from his morning show to rediscover what he lost.
