11. Lashleigh was not careful what she said:
snip
Critics of behemoth corporate media have always fretted
about the top-down pressures on journalists to watch what they say, but it's hard to imagine that most
contemporary network journalists have a single thought in their heads that might distress their bosses. (When
they do, though, they are hauled straight to the woodshed, as MSNBC's Ashleigh Banfield learned after
telling a campus lecture audience that TV news did a poor job of covering numerous aspects of the war.)

I'm mainly in print, until I get my ass in gear and buy some half decent sound equipment to freelance radio. TV though, I never enjoyed it..matching words to pictures is an editing nightmare!

I don't watch FOX, but I've seen Kiran Chetny (see below) while visiting Andy the Right Wing Republican (he has it on 24/7 -- I'm crapping you negative). She IS way beautiful.

But the weekend morning blonde (Juliette?) just does it for me in a big way.

Hey, since we're coming at this on an eye candy level, I can always just turn off the volume and glance up while reading a book.

32. Peter Jennings and Jon Stewart and Dan Abrams....growlllllllllllllll
Edited on Tue Aug-05-03 01:36 PM by tjdee
I'm young enough to be his daughter, but Peter Jennings is SO good looking to me. It must be the European (okay, LOL, Canadian) sensibilities or something. Tall, thin (I never thought I had a type, but I sense a theme in many of my replies in the Lounge), elegant, well read, thoughtful, soothing voice...



Dan Abrams gets on my nerves most of the time, and honestly I don't watch his show, but he's got a law degree and he's cute. And single.
But, he does need a new haircut.

http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:2g5SYGn16D4C:

Jon isn't "technically" news, but he's won the Peabody and is honestly one of the most adorable guys in the world.

Yum.

She also seems like a person who truly cares.

Her cameraperson has to stop using direct light on her; when exterior, they should backlight and use a fill card.

40. my local 10 PM anchor, Harris Faulkner
fellow Twin Citians, can you argue with me?



"Harris is a motivational speaker, addressing standing-room only crowds at events including the Women’s Expo 2002 at the Minneapolis Convention Center. She has served as emcee for the Twin Cities' foremost community affairs functions: including the American Experiment 2003 Banquet with Dr. Henry A. Kissinger; annual gatherings of the Minneapolis Urban League, the NAACP with Nelson Mandela, and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday Breakfast with U.S. Representative Jesse Jackson, Jr. She strongly supports other local organizations including the Minnesota Aids Project Oscar Night America "Hollywood" event and Susan G. Komen Foundation Race for the Cure."

Ok, I don't know about that Kissinger bit, but otherwise she's A-OK with me!

Too bad she recently married Tony Berlin of WCC0 (curses!)
