Sexiest Newsperson

[Catch22Dem]

I ALWAYS had a thing for Ashleigh Banfield. What's she doing these days anyway?

[rumguy]

1. Although she's to old for me...

Christiane Amanpour is the Chrissy Hynde of foreign correspondents....and that's kinda sexy

[kixot]

2. Totally!

She's always come off with such fierce sexiness. Yeah, don't see her much anymore.

[TacticalPeek]

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.)

[dragonquest8]

3. Laurie Dhue is too sexy to be true

She is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo beautiful.

[northernsoul]

44. I see DQ8 has been tombstoned

I was wondering when that was going to happen

What was the straw that broke the camel's back?

[HalfManHalfBiscuit]

45. A little harsh for touting Laurie Dhue (sp?)

But I imagine there were other things

[northernsoul]

46. he made a lot of O'Reilly and Coulter worshipping posts

and he talked smack about J Garofalo, which landed him on my personal $@#! list

[Zorro]

54. His pic of Katherine Harris in the saddle

in another thread.

[ButterflyBlood]

4. Page Hopkins

OK, now I'm feeling guilty ;(

actually do sportscasters count? Because if so then Jill Arrington... :9

[Catch22Dem]

5. Wait

Rym Brahimi is cute too:

[jenk]

[Pert_UK]

Classy...

:-)

7. Soledad O'Brien...

[newyawker99]

22. Congrats ugarte!! 400 posts!

:toast:

[Catch22Dem]

8. Our local FAUX affiliate...

Has a beautiful anchor. She's 1/2 Japanese and sooooo pretty! Chera Kimiko.

[arcos]

9. Bill Hemmer

from CNN.

[Jim Sagle]

10. CNN's Patty Davis.

[Lady Freedom]

12. ME!

Well I am sexy, and I'm a newsperson.

[HEyHEY]

13. Do you have a journalism background too?

Cause I was gonna say me!

[Lady Freedom]

15. Yes I do!

I have done much reporting in the last two years. Mainly on Television.

[HEyHEY]

16. Cool

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!

[5thGenDemocrat]

27. Print guy here, too

There's something about the BBC's Martine Croxell I find sexy.
John
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.

[jenk]

14. Daryn Kagan!!!!!!!!

soooooooo HOT!

fire in the disco, fire in the taco bell!

[stanwyck]

24. I'm female but I recognize

that's she's hot.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

52. Always thought she was pretty

Even though I'm a straight girl, her and Soledad O'Brien I would have to say for female news personalities... they're cute.

[AntiCoup2K4]

17. To paraphrase an old Clash song.....

RUDI can't fail!!

[pfitz59]

19. Is irrelevant!

I want competence, dammit!

[Lady Freedom]

20. I do that!

Looks and brains! Am I hot or what! hehe!

[sujan]

23. kiran Chetry

Fox News

[stanwyck]

25. Jon Stewart

Oh, wait, that's a fake news show. But, then, people are listing FAUX newspeople.

[underpants]

26. Christina McVicker (I think that is her name)

She used to work for ABC but I haven't seen here in a while. NO picture but very good looking.

[Michael Daniels]

28. Sorry to list a Fox news person

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.

ED (from weekdays), however, blechh.

[Snellius]

29. Kate Snow of ABC (formerly CNN)

Even the pres tried to hit to her a bit during his last snooze conference. Also, Norah O'Donnell

[Loonman]

30. Chris Jansing!

[Skittles]

31. FORREST SAWYER

I'D JUMP HIM IN A MINUTE; YES INDEED. :D

[tjdee]

32. Peter Jennings and Jon Stewart and Dan Abrams....growlllllllllllllll

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.

[elcondor]

43. Peter Jennings

I'm young enough to be his daughter too! Don't feel bad, tjdee! :-)

[nedlogg]

33. Maria Bartaromo

CNBC :thumbsup:

[tjdee]

34. For women, I agree. She's gorgeous and smart. n/t

Wow, I didn't know that. Awesome.

Man, that's one of my big dreams, to have a song written for me, LOL.
Some gals have all the luck.

[whoYaCallinAlib]

42. My vote to the "money honey", and I'm a woman!

I want to look like her!

[PurityOfEssence]

37. Rym Brahimi

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.

[LuLu550]

38. I always loved

Dr. Bob Arnot...he's cute..but what the heck was he doing covering the war in Iraq? He should be talking about SARS or something.

39. Sue Simmons - WNBC New York

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!)

[ScreamingMeemie]

41. Peter Jennings and his eyebrows.

55. She is drop dead gorgeous

Sharon's got my vote, too. She also has a pleasant TV personality, which plays well with all the characters on that channel.

[Maccagirl]

48. Anderson Cooper

I know, I'm a straight gal and he's gay..but I DON'T CARE!

[tjdee]

50. How did I forget Anderson!!!

He's adorable.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

49. Terry Moran and his Lips

[tjdee]

51. Me crazy--Terry! Terry!

I can't believe I forgot Terry too!

Terry Moran is SO hot, whew. And he asks good questions.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

53. ok i'm going to get flamed for this
