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.

but Megan is known for looks not brains

She graduated with a Juris Doctor ,and was associate editor of the Albany Law Review. She wrote at least one article for the American Bar Association journal ,and was a practicing lawyer for a decade for major law firms .
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

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.

I'd watch your show . The only reason I brought up her credentials was that shallow swipe from the progressive liberal guy who doesn't wage war on women.

And if I had one, I'd do a shout-out to you at the end of each one, like Carol Burnett tugging her ear to tell her grandmother "I love you." I could shout, "Yo, Tom!" and fluff my hair or something.

Granted, no he didn't, but there must be a reason why they wear short skirts and tight tops. They know their audience - aging white males.

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.

NeedKarma · Oct 15, 2013, 02:20 PM

No, they accept that as part of the job and on-air clothing description there.

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

NeedKarma · Oct 15, 2013, 03:30 PM

She wouldn't eviscerate me, she would agree with me.

More hard hitting news reporting from Megyn: (you can start at 4 minutes)

And here are some other Fox News anchors:

what a shallow thing to say. I am sure you've never seen her show. So all you have is appearances to go by .

talaniman · Oct 15, 2013, 06:20 PM

It all about appearance as the last goofball to have that time slot just wasn't cutting it. Kelly's claim to fame is she isn't as over the top crazy talking as the other winger females. Or some of those coach sitters in the morning.

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."
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.

There must be some average looking women who may be a little overweight that meet the journalistic qualifications at Fox. From what I have seen the standard of journalism required is very basic.

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