"Most television news hosts are spokesmodels."

I don't agree with that, at least as far as men are concerned. Lester Holt is good looking? Joe Scarborough? Nope. But it is certainly true of TV actors, who - in the US - are almost required to be good looking.

This contrasts with the UK, where even leading roles are often filled by actors and actresses who aren't particularly good looking, even a bit homely on occasion.

As for Stelter, he's always reminded me of George Costanza of the Seinfeld show.

I look at Stelter and Lemon as the bottom of the barrel. I just see Lemon as an affirmative action hire. I don’t know what the deal is with Stelter. He must be someone’s cousin or has damaging info on someone. Compare them to Laura Ingraham or Tucker and they are worse by several orders of magnitude. I just don’t get it.

As far as Stelter’s brilliant investigative reporting on the lack of vaccine selfies from Fox hosts is concerned, maybe it’s because the Fox hosts trust their viewers to make their own decisions about vaccines, and do not need to be prodded into action by the example of a politician or celebrity.

perhaps the selfie is the mark of the beast?

oh noes.

steltzer is an idjit... one stupid move from being showless, ie peewee

I saw the headline and my first thought was “What the blazes is Brian Setzer have to do with being fat and on TV”. Then I looked further and saw somebody mention Steve Miller. “Now they’re talking about the Gangster of Love. What gives ?” Oops - never mind.

The only reason he’s on TV is that he’s Jeff Zucker’s mini-me.

I call Stelter “Butterball” because he looks like a Butterball turkey in a suit.
