CNN's Soledad O'Brien
Is it just me or is that girl the emptiest head on cable news television? Can't stand her and her little-girl voice. :puke:

2. Well. . she isn't that bad. .
but she isn't very good either. I just heard she's pregnant with twins. That would make babies #3 and #4 for her.

4. Compared to the idiots on Faux and whatever...
No she isn't as bad as that lot, but she just irritates the piss out of me. I have a hard time watching the news in the morning because of her.

13. God bless her.
I can't imagine how hard it is to do a morning show when you're pregnant with twins. Usually the morning sickness is a lot worse with twins.

But aside from that, I agree with your assessment. She's not great, but there are worse out there.

3. Well, she DID get her start on MTV...
Which IMHO gave her a credibility issue to begin with.

5. I like her name
she is nice to look at.

I think she plays it very safe. She knows how cutthroat CNN is.

Remember Artell (sp) Neville?

Gone in 60 seconds.

Theyt are almost ALL whores. Why pick on her?

The only exception I make is for Jeff Greenberg whose analysis SEEMS fair some of the time.

6. It's "Arthel" Neville
She used to do the weather I think. And I am not picking on O'Brien. She just bugs me. I know they are mostly whores but her demeanor is just too sickening sweet for me to stomach. I will be glad when she goes on maternity leave, and maybe she will take Hemmer with her. He is a lousy excuse for a journalist. I call them the "Vapid Twins".

11. she had that PM chatfest
"Talk Back" with Arthel Neville. It was actually pretty good ( rom the standpoint of hearing what what was on the mind of Johnny and Sue Lunchbucket of Peachsuburb, GA).

Her liberal soul creeped out often though, and she had to be sacrificed.

She comes from a large family and I think they all went to Harvard.

8. when she was on the Daily Show
When she was on the Daily Show a few months ago, she was absolutely *terrible* at having an on-the-spot conversation with Jon Stewart. It was like she was looking for a Teleprompter to help her keep up her side of the conversation.

Anyone remember that?

10. Yes and you are correct
She couldn't stay with Jon at all.

A short time later, Hemmer was on the show and in my opinion, he came off as a shallow, self-promoting pretty boy.

The two of them are a bad combination. They hit their time cues and read the scripts but there is little, if any, self-generated thought from either of them.

14. That had to be one of the worst Daily Show interviews
I remember it too well. The woman is an idiot. I get mad when people make more money than I do and I can't figure out why. Makes no sense. I can read a teleprompter, have a conversation, AND walk and chew gum at the same time damn it.
