One thing I've noticed about FOX news

Besides that's it a radical right-wing, xenophobic, hypocritical, money mongering network run by a family of crazy radical zionists... is that all the female anchors look like they were manufactured by Mattel. Not that I have anything against an aesthetically pleasing woman, but these in particular always seem to be in the age range from 21-30, blonde hair, tan skin, light colored eyes, and a hollow expression that stares into the teleprompter reading every bit with no thought.

This, 2 things, tells me something about the network:

1. They use these attractive women to lure in the average Joe to watch her as she reads the teleprompter, hypnotizing with her beauty and planting the read words into the numbed brain from which most the bloodflow has left now.

2. They are trying to sell the message that all attractive women are on the Fox news side, which is bull, then again I have a tendancy to look at inner beauty as well.

Just an observation.

Just like, if you ever listen to Hanitty (gag), they take calls from fawning women ("Heeeey Shaaaaanwn!!!) instead of those who want to take him to task. Total BS. I've changed a few minds by recommending Stephanie Miller, Randi Rhodes and Rachel Maddow, who are far more entertaining anyway!

10. They use the same formula to pick all their news people in every market.

Blond woman, dark haired douchy sports or weather guy, and a blondish, goofy every man who thinks he has a sense of humor...but no. And the women pander to the men like they're just a few IQ points lower than the men and laugh at everything they say.

11. It's also why RWers have the idea that republican women are more attractive.

(laughter ensues) Which of course is not true. That's a naiive belief.
For one thing, I have good reason to believe left leaning women are in better shape and eat more healthily, generally speaking. But mostly, appearance is not an accurate indicator of politics.

But just look at all those hotties on FAUX! Megyn Kelly is physically beautiful, and she out-hannities Sean Hannity.

I don't find any of the Fox women beautiful or even remotely attractive.

And that includes specifically, Gretchen Carlson who is supposed to be, what is it?, a former Miss Minnesota?

Just knowing what her mind is like, coupled with a look that is such a cliched standard of beauty, just isn't attractive to me.

their "talented" contributors and hosts get plastic surgery to look "better": Ellen Ratner, Alan Colmes, Greta Van Susternen. FOX is disgusting on every level.
