    Aw Patooey.Who cares what she likes.No one even mentions her any more.
    She's old news.Just because she got her mug on - Meet the Press - don't
    mean warm snot.She's a sly propagandist.Who deflect away from obvious
    truth in favor of some drummed-up Bias out of media matters or MoveOn.org.
    She's been found out.She's a flak.At least with Keith Olbermann there was
    timing and theatrics.Good commie-style engagement.Like Nikita Khrushchev
    was about to pop in for a few words.Or Keith Olbermann's Mommie with
    a wicker basket of cookies and bagels.

    " I want the viewer to see their legs " Where did you get this quote? We can't attribute it to anyone if it can't be verified.

    Do legs distract from the credibility factor? Possibly. Then again, it's primarily a Fox thing. Bleached blondes included.

    Only a certain .... level .... of society. as in, the very elderly and others. Watching Fox news is like time travel. That kind of antiquated and lowbrow 'sexualisation' of women is such an anachronism that it has it's own novelty value. The novelty is complete when you factor in just how incredibly dated the standard 'look' is on these women. Hence the appeal to very old men, I guess :)

    It's not that sex doesn't sell, but that it needs to be at least vaguely relevant. The Fox brand of 'sexy' is so antiquated that it's a source of comedy. They all look as though it's still 1989. Utterly suburban conventional, and zero concession to any other fashion culture or even century (given they're currently in the late 20th).

    Fair enough since I often require udder posters to cite authority or who's quote.
    I can't remember where I saw it.So I can't accredit.
    But some mug named Gabriel Sherman penned a book about Ailes.
    Which Media Matters { drat source } is using to pigeonhole guilt on Ailes.
    Quotes like " I can't see her legs " or " I need the leg.That's Andrea Tantaros."
    How about ... " I did not spend X-number of dollars on a glass desk for her
    to wear pant suits " an obvious reference to Megyn Kelly." With the sexiest tush
    in cable TV.

    I hate to bust your bubble, about the only males I know that aren't attracted by a good looking female are gay.

    It is quite true.

    It is been plainly obvious for years.

    In fact I believe a long time ago some of the female talking heads on fox have addressed it.

    It is nothing new it is not breaking news and it is very trivial. Maybe some old guy running fox news likes it but that is irrelevant anyways it is in fact good for ratings and that's the only reason they need

    uh no, sorry that particular problem is not strictly a Fox News problem the all too aptly named Anthony Weiner, and Bill Clinton leaping instantly to mind.

    How wrong,terribly misguided your thought process.Without Fox and Talk Radio
    this country,by now,would be no different than a banana republic.
    Our Elections are even tampered with like in 3rd world countries.The DNC
    plots and conspires like a Tinhorn Dictatorship.
    When Matt Drudge makes an appearance { a very rare sight } and warns
    implicitly how things are changing at breakneck speed,that even our Supreme's
    are IN on it { They plan to basically take away the ability of a Free Press and
    access of words and phrases used }.Meaning his site will be Kaput.
    No more headline news.No more headers used to attract readers.
    The AP has already been giving marching order of words that are banned
    in the Press.Basically whatever Obama's White House deems too unfriendly for
    their " transformation " like - Fast & Furious - or Eric Holders Contempt charge.
    N'cest pas ?

    I doubt any man not interested in news watches fox just for the babes. I would say it makes news more watchable though when you are looking at a beautiful woman read it than a CNN Candy Crowley type. News in general is bad enough without adding her to the mix

    The era of professional and ethical journalism, started dying out as soon as the corporations turned news formats into entertainment venues, which started way before Murdoch, but he turned it into an art.

    So it's all still just a variety of speculation/opinion/gossip?

    The era of professional and ethical journalism is a myth. Over our history newspapers were all in for one side or the other and as television came of age there was a myth that you could trust it to be unbiased news but it was just that, a myth. News of the modern era has always leaned left but since the 60s has become nothing more than an arm of the DNC with rare exception in a few newspapers and one television news source. This one cable news outlet has become a huge thorn in the side for the left and they do anything and everything they can do to discredit it with the ultimate goal of its complete demise. " Resistance is futile, assimilate or die".

    However unfeminist this may sound, I will not judge another woman for using her sexuality to get ahead, providing that in the final analysis, she comes out much farther ahead, for doing so. Gretchen Carlson took a hit and fought back. Roger Ailes allowed Megyn Kelly to get slapped around by Trump. Her male Trump fan base turned against her. She took a major hit and is trying to save face. Just spread your legs and shut your mouth. You'll go far as a female news anchor at Fox.

    You know, as a young girl, I thought Christiane Amanpour was hot. I still do.
