She is awesome.
Regarding most the other females; most of the other news is really political junk anyone can read a teleprompter so might as well be a naked someone doing it 'cause that's the caliber of info we get.

Really? You think? Kind of like the "sexy" police women on T.V. When men do the hiring for men to watch, what do you expect? It is not about their actual ability, it is about perceived ability, and when your in a tight, low cut top, it is not the news being paid attention to. The real issue is that T.V. news is no long unbiased, nor is it anything but mostly fluff.

Men are bad, women are good.

Apparently this guy doesn't watch Fox News. All of the women on Fox are Degree'd and most of them have Law Degrees. Not only are they easy on the eyes, they are good at what the due. All of them fill in for the prime time anchors with no problem at all. Get un- der Megan Kelly's feathers and she will rip you a new one. I don't even watch network news airheads, male or female. They don't report the news, they report what the White House feeds them.

I'd say this is 100% accurate for mainstream media, certainly for the women at ABC, NBC, and CBS. Dianne Sawyer has been around for decades but when she (reads her teleprompter) she has this "serious look" on her face, Katie too. They're not serious about really anything. However, Megyn Kelly, Lis Wiehl, and really ALL the FOX NEWS women are stunners, but they' smart too. Juliet Huddy might be an exception but Fox makes it informative, and fun to watch. Creepy old bags like Angela Mitchell, Candy Crowley, even babawawa, well they're no fun to watch.

How dare men look at females as different than males! SUE! SUE! SUE! MAKE MEN CHANGE!

One of my favorite female reporters is Candy Crowley, CNN, quite the professional but a little overweight. Too bad physical beauty counts for so much in life. Lots of wonderful, intelligent people who wouldn't be called good looking.

As I read this synopsis of the study thought of dizzy blonds crossed my mind: An image of Chris Matthews flashed before my mental eyes.
If you watch and listen to any reporter over a period of time their credentials and creditability become self evident. Do they actually report, or do they just repeat politicized talking point refuse, or even worse spout personal animosity.

My point was who cares if they look good - that's great, just look at their bios to see how much background experience they really have.

First of all, so many of these sexy female reporters are lawyers and experts in other fields before becoming reporters or anchors. So stop looking at their legs and do listen to them. as far as foreign news, all news organizations have cut back on funding on putting correspondents on the ground. That is not the fault of the sexy women. Look at Liz Trotta, Fox News. Contributor who always looks good but can talk about foreign policy, war, like the best of them because she was there in her younger years as a foreign correspondent when news orgs actually funded people to be on the ground. I certainly could mention others. But I urge readers not to judge women by how they look. get ti know their resume before judgement. and so what if they look food - more power to them!
