While I would hardly call the males sex symbols, you do have a rugged looking group with Brit Hume, Geraldo, and Brett Baer. But especially with the women, I think FOX has understood that television is about VISUAL APPEAL every bit as much as it is about content. That is not a knock. You see CNN trying to match the "Fox babes," but the CNN announcers just lack a certain character. Virtually all the Fox female announcers are not just pretty, but INTERESTING looking. Since they are obviously also smart and articulate, it's hard to beat with the shrill Judy Woodward and Margaret Carlson.
