I have to say, though, that FOX also has featured BEAUTIFUL people, by and large, as its anchors, readers, hosts. It is hard to beat Lauren Greene, Juliette Huddy, Kiran Chitwin, Jane Skinner, and Laurie ("Lips sweeter than the morning") Duhe.
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.
Fox does indeed have some hotties working for them. I'd urge them to continue to bring in new talent and keep the faces fresh.
Soon they are going to have to [or at least should] change the graphics they use. Many of them are simply too large. Gives off the feel of having your computer monitor's settings too high and you get oversized graphics.
Chill with the absolutely corny Fox News Alerts. They now have close to zero credibilty because there are at least three a friggin day. I mean when you segway into the Space Shuttle disaster with the same alert that you use to cover a guy with a flat tire on 95 North, you kinda dilute the process.
Brit Hume is outstanding. I would however like to see some younger Conservatives on his nightly panels. Barnes is alright but far to uptight. You mean to tell me you cant find a young, charming, good looking guy that can speak with equal passion as Barnes? Please....gimme a call. Also...the turn around time on the wartime grapevine segment is a day too slow. I am farily certain he gets quite a bit of that stuff from right here at FR. It shows up here on Monday and makes its way to the grapevine by wednesday.
I am assuming they are confirming the info as well as watching to see how popular a particular subject is here...but they could shrink the turnaround curve a bit.
GO FOX GO!!!
