News Anchor Shows Her "Sex Kitten" Side


<snip>

"KTLA Morning News" anchor Sharon Tay's seductive gaze from the pages of a men's magazine suggests that the headlines of the day are the last thing on her mind. Bold lipstick accents her prominent lips, and few might disagree that she wears her clothes — what there is of them — well.

But despite posing in various stages of undress in the March issue of Razor magazine, Tay, who anchors the 5 to 7 a.m. edition of the news, insists she has no aspirations to be America's Next Top Model.

"Oh, no, no, NO!" says the petite Tay, shaking her head vigorously. "I'm way too short!"

Now Tay's "fashion" pictorial has revived the debate about the blurring of boundaries between news and entertainment. While some TV newswomen, such as Fox 11's Jillian Barberie and KTLA's Mindy Burbano, have emphasized sexuality to promote themselves and their newscasts for several years, the emergence of news anchors using magazines and websites to flaunt their physical attributes has heightened concerns about the boundaries between journalism and show business, with academics, news directors and rival anchors denouncing the practice.

3. Hey, why not?
They don't report anything more substantial than bubble gum, might as well give us something to watch, I guess.

My problem with the modern media has nothing to do with the image they project, it has to do with the fact that they have become the advertising department of the Republican Party, and have no journalistic integrity. Heck, I've never watched the show, but I don't imagine the nude women on Playboy News are any more or less relevant journalistically than any of the more conventionally covered news.

12. Fox channel 6 news is just as bad....
I don't think they have a newscaster over the age of twenty.

Uhhh, I think the NakedNews is still hiring ( www.nakednews.com ).
I'm sure they would be interested in her qualifications.
