What Should Change About Fox News? (Vanity / Essay)
Self ^ | 12/17/2004 | Self

Posted on 12/17/2004 10:36:54 AM PST by Phsstpok

We know that Fox, among others, has people who regularly scan FreeRepublic for items of interest.  I want to take advantage of that to try to get some ideas in front of Roger Ailes and crew.

I'm going to lay out my ideas below, but I have a feeling that not only will others have their own equally good, or better, ideas,  but that there will also be folks who think my ideas are way off base.  So be it.  That's the idea behind posting this here, so that there can be open discussion of what is of interest to folks "like us," Freepers, pajamahadeen, et al.  Maybe some bits and pieces of a discussion like this will actually get to the powers that be at Fox and have some impact. FR tends to give one delusion of grandeur anyway, so why not?

So, here goes...

FOX sorely lacks international news coverage. There is alot going on in the world that we don't hear about. Hurts me to have to switch to CNN.

Hire Pat Buchanan for Greta's (never watch it) spot.

Get rid of Dari Alexander. The woman can't read a simple sentence without three errors, and that isn't even counting her unnatural breathing pattern.

Sorry, but I have to stick up for my girl! Dari Alexander is Hot! Hot! Hot! Too bad she has some medical condition that forces her to wear those ugly glasses, but she is one of the most beautiful women on TV, IMHO.

There's so much more to being a good news babe than being able to read a teleprompter. ;^)

i think she is homely and her accent grates on me, there is NO NEED For it to be so pronounced, indeed, it is unprofessional as a journalist to have a pronounced accent, according to Journalism school undergrad, xshub.

Like actually getting a coherent news report? What am I thinking? I have dorky glasses like hers and can speak in complete sentences and read a teleprompter.

Meow! I hate her, too. She is all about the partying and wouldn't have a job if she didn't have connections. Her Uncle Bill Huddy was a blathering anchorman on KTLA when I was a kid.

Am I the only one who's bothered to beat hell with all the stupid logos, running verbiage on the bottom of the screen, and other distracting garbage? Everytime I start to read the crap on the bottom, they cut to a commercial. Or, the key words go by before I know what the sentance is about and once again it's just a distraction.

IMHO, the only truly obnoxious accents are Boston and NY varieties. Oh, and Chicago.
I used to get Dari and Kiran mixed up but now I can tell the difference. Dari is the very plain one and Kiran is better looking.

Mr. Okie is all about the protocol. He would never go on TV as Major Dean.

I KNEW it would come out! ROR! Even though she was nice enough to turn around and wave to y'all, she didn't win you over?

I think she is cute in an obnoxious way. It's like she's thinking, I'll act all cute just to get on xsmommy's nerves. :)

Oh sure, get all technical about it. ;-)

Honestly, I do wince when she asks an airheaded question or blows a line, but since I love her, I overlook it. Any considerate man would. BTW, nice family you have there.

She has the most wonderful lips I've ever seen. Made for smootching.
