Fox News is the most popular cable news channel in America, and its quite unique. Most obviously, theres Foxs conservatism. Other differences are more stylistic. A lot of Fox News programs are fairly similar to talk radio, for instance. Indeed, shows such as Hannity actually star on conservative talk radio stations.

Then there are the women on Fox News:
The women on Fox, whether they be anchors or guests, are quite different from the women found on other news channels. They wear a lot more make-up. They are a lot more, shall we say, blonde.
This holds true as well for their behavior, especially when interacting with men at Fox News. Theres a very strange dynamic at work between the men and women of Fox News. The women laugh, giggle, and say silly things. The male host condescends and says that the women are wrong.
Its all very strange, even weird. Sure, theres a time and place for things like this to occur, but this is a news channel. Supposedly.
Fox News, of course, is Americas main outlet for conservatism. One hopes that the higher degree of blondeness of women at Fox News has nothing to do with this. Surely conservatives arent that superficial, right?

I have nothing against blondes. (I have a problem with women in general) I'm just passing along what I see as an interesting question.
How about

I'm blond, and I'm not on Fox News........
Didn't know that. Never watch the stuff.
I would rather watch Sabado Gigante:
More entertaining and more demeaning.
I agree . Those televised "debates" were biased against all the GOP candidates . No aspect of them were debates . I wonder if Fox has been bought out by Soros ?
She is a brunette but too slender to meet the standards of Bill Clinton ...
Although the hair color is irrelevant to me, the exposed thighs on the Fives is a little much. Is it necessary to wear dresses short enough that without copy sitting on their laps we'd be reading the brand of underwear these ladies are wearing?
It detracts from the "conversations"...they look like high priced,uhm glamourgirls./IMO
Monica Lewinski did not charge money ...
True, she held out for the book sales.
I'm not sure that was intentional . Are you ?!
No, but certainly made out okay...don'tya think?
She did OK with just a stained blue dress ...
LOL, most women would have had the dressed cleaned to wear for another "special" occasion.
I suppose that is evidence of intent ... on her part .
Intent? Could be, but then again perhaps she's a slob and doesn't do laundry
Monica knew exactly what she was doing, both in the White House and afterward.
Even fat chicks can't be trusted ... what is this society coming to ?!
Why isn't there a website where men can share their relationship horror stories or does that already exist at Facebook or twitter ?
John, your complaints about Fox News falls on ears that are sick and tired of hearing liberals complain that there is another point of view besides theirs available for the public to watch.
The FCC is the applicable regulatory group here. They regulate over the air broadcast TV and radio that uses the "public" air waves. The FCC has much less if any current regulatory power over content on subscription services such as cable and satellite tv and radio. Fox News is on cable and is free from regulations progressives would like to impose.
She's a former prosecutor and presently an opinion contributor on Fox.
Little brain candy.
Hillary's pantsuits have got to go. Threw away my hubby's leisure suits YEARS ago
Wait there are women on FOX that are not blondes so this article is total BS? Who would have thought?
Why are there no redheads. Fox is bigoted against redheads.
I think that we should boycott Fox until they have a redhead in primetime. No token redheads in the supporting cast, but a redhead front and center.
And why are all the people on NT such big liars? (Are they deliberately trying to con us-- or is it that they just aren't really all that bright...???):
Hmmmmmm . . .
Oh, wait. Its really not all the people on NT who are consistent liars, is it?
There are more, but this is getting a bit boring . . .
In the first place, Puff the Magic Dragon , why don't you use some of that magic to open your eyes and read the goddamn article before you go off blowing your phony flame around, and calling people liars! If you would have done that you may have noticed that at the top of the article it says;
By inoljt
So, if you want to waste your time calling anyone a liar, you might want to direct your asinine rage at DAILY KOS contributor 'inoljt'
Also, the very first post on the thread, which is mine, says, " I have nothing against blondes. (I have a problem with women in general) I'm just passing along what I see as an interesting question. "
WoooOW! She's not satisfied with showing the Bubba crowd a little leg! She's gonna throw a little ass in their too!!
Thank you for that post Aeon, it is much appreciated, (at least I enjoyed it).
It's the fucking DAILY KOS for Chrissake!
They're just like Fox News, you'll never see an article from them that does not contain a little bogus bullshit.
Yeah, 'bigotry' that's what they're doing.
Oh, they're dangerous all right, look how misinformed you are!
Jerry
Why exactly is the question interesting?
There is no factual basis for the question, as demonstrated by the numerous comments showing the numerous women with hair colors other than blonde at Fox News, so why is the question interesting to you?
The question promulgates a false premise - why do you find that interesting>
No derail Cerenkov, sorry if John isn't posting enough pictures to maintain your attention.
AP....How did you get a hold of my picture??? j/k
Who said there's anything wrong with being a blonde?
I would say having a strong contingency of blondes in the line-up is one of the reasons Fox is so successful in drawing the Bubba viewers.
That and all the leg and ass they have hanging out all the time.
You noticed that too Lynn? On the occasions I go to Fox News to find out what their propaganda of the day is, I noticed there always seems to a lot of T&A being flaunted around. I figured it's just their technique for keeping the Bubba crowd awake.
What conversations?
You mean all those "shits & giggles" are supposed to be "conversations"?
LOL
Everybody but Krish.
If you call, " I'm just passing along what I see as an interesting question. ", "promoting", that's fine.
Btw, I've noticed the thread has kept you occupied for a while.
Take a chill. It's all fun.
Quit promoting yourself Nona..BTW is the Frizza finished yet?
After going through this thread I have noticed many of the Right Wingers around here, who claim they don't watch Fox News, seem to be very aware that the female line-up on that propaganda outlet are not exclusively blondes.
Oh Kav...you're no fun!! The Frizza is done, but, you can't have any after that remark!!! j/k
OK, I'm sorry for the remark, now can I have my Frizza.
At least one can differentiate between male on female on Fox news...
Chi-miigwetch Nona.
Perhaps the more important issue is , why are none of the males blonde ?
Prego Kav...
At first I thought they were twins, then I realized that Chris just wants to be Rachel...
Good question. But why is it more important?
I think it's the other way around, only Rachel doesn't want to be Chris, she wants to be Butch.
Well fishy, you were the one to take the bait. I thank you as I was hoping for a response that would allow me to illustrate my point.
I was attempting to show that this bigotryis promulgatedinboth aisles. In the same way Fox News uses appearances to ingratiate their audience, so does MSNBC.
;^)
Not exactly. The fish I was hoping for (the seeder) didn't take the bait...
And CNN is the propaganda arm for the Clintons while MSDNC is the propaganda arm of the Democratic National Committee. Grow up John, there no longer are ANY unbiased television news sources. If you add in NBC, ABC and CBS, the left has a five to one advantage in propagandistic media outlets......AND THEY'RE STILL LOSING. Fox has higher ratings than all five of the others combined and, in a democracy, numbers are all that matter; not the IQ of the voters, just their numbers.
I think she accomplished that rather well Jerry.
Converse issues usually hide great truths ...
Since your credibility on the NTer'sis that of a fermented can of sardines (the straight folks group?!)...your accusation has me shaking in my boots.
Well, since you haven't made two serious or meaningful posts in a row here in quite some time, I'm more than secure in my standing compared to your's. Ayatolla or Badfish or whatever you go by for the next five minutes.
At least I have the balls to go by my real name, and reflect a real and accurate persona.

Yep, definitely more of a glamor show than a news outlet.
Petey Coober is almost always wrong, but on this one he's right.
Fox has been investigated by the FCC numerous times because of their questionable reporting practices.
They have beenpetitioned, they have paid fines and they have been sanctioned.
FCC PETITIONED TO REMOVE FOX NEWS BROADCASTING LICENSE
"People are tired of the lies and deceit of Fox News. The right-wing propaganda mill that has been rated truthful only 11% of the time has managed to dominate the cable news ratings without offering a shred of anything newsworthy for years."
"Months after both the House and Senate cleared the Obama administration of any wrongdoing or deceit over Benghazi, Fox still regularly fills space with more conspiracy theories and lies about the incident, often times referring to specific talking points refuted by the GOP-led congress own reports."
However, despite the complaints, the FCC has elected not to pull their licence, citing the 1st Amendment;
" The Commission generally will not intervene in such cases because it would be inconsistent with the First Amendment to replace the journalistic judgment of licensees with our own. However, as public trustees, broadcast licensees may not intentionally distort the news. "
It's not a matter of a different point of view, it's a matter of Fox broadcasting aheavilybiased,often distorted andoccasionally, a totally false point of view.
That's what theproblemis Corny! Fox News, by design and with motive, supports the Right Wing agenda, and you people eat it all up, because Fox tells you what you want to hear.
msnbc has the same problem, only on they are on the other side of the political spectrum, telling Left Wingers what they want to hear.
However, most of those on the Left, or just left of center, know msnbc is too far to the Left, so they watch CNN.
The reason CNN and msnbc don't have the ratings to match Fox, is almost all Right Wingers watch Fox and the Left Wingers are split between CNN and msnbc.
I have seen surveys that show Fox News listeners are the least informed of all viewers. As a matter of fact, I have seen surveys that indicate some people that do not watch the news at all are better informed than Fox viewers
Why Are All the Females at Fox News Blonde?
Great question there Jerry.
Here's the answer. Fox wants their viewers to think that if they believe all that neo-con bullshit, some hot blonde will like them, and give them a chance to get some of that honey pot.
Which, I can understand a little bit, because which of us never lied to some cooz so we could sample that beaver?
Fox, with the sound turned down, is like one of those Mexican TV shows where all the women look like hookers, it's just advertising, like beer commercials and such.
What's the big deal? She's got underwear on.
It's simply an observation.
This bigotry?! The Daily KOS contributors'erroneousclaim that all the females on Fox News are blondes is bigoted?!
Ya know Larry, I have looked at the pics of Chris Mathews and Rachel Maddow and I cannot understand what it is about their appearance that would 'ingratiate' the audience.
You should never try to bait me Larry, it will never work out the way you expect.
Yeah she has. She has made it no secret that she's gay. Anyway, I don't really care about her sexual orientation, I only care about her commentary.
Same as I don't care that CNNs' Don Lemon and Anderson Cooper have both come out as gay. I only care about the quality of the coverage they give the viewers.
Fox, on the other hand, clearly uses lot's and lot's of sexy legs and glamour to please it's Bubba base.
And I'm pretty sure that 'base' would not be too pleased to know it if one of the male anchors on Fox were gay.
Another "makes no sense" comment from Petey Coober.
Yeah she does, but it's only supposed to be on her ass, not on the TV screen.
But then this is Fox News we're talking about. They have to do what they have to do to keep Bubba happy.
Didn't the Donald say that all Mexican women actually were hookers? And would the Donald lie-- I mean its not like he's actually Hillary Clinton or sumpthin'...???
Another DUH comment from old man Verlinger . No communication skills ? Attack !
A penny saved gathers no moss!
I'd do em all.
Amen to that.
Although, that Kimberly Guilfoyle is a smoking hot brunette, worthy of an honorable mention.
Look at them gams!
She is as sexy as she is smart.
I wonder if she would date a steel worker?
Day~um!
Joey,
She is beautiful, but you are the worst kind of misogynist.
We are people, not just sex dolls for your 2 minutes of awkward intercourse.
By the way, do you kiss your mother with that mouth?
I think Newstalkers is reaching new heights of intellectualism with this thread.
I know I'm impressed.
Sophie, where did your pretty face go ?
I'm all about 10 minutes of graceful mutually satisfying intercourse . I should get an honorable mention ... right ?
That's your response? ........ Spin?
The Pew Research Institute issues a report saying Fox viewers are less informed than people that do not watch the news at all, and you say it's "spin"?
Clearly Dennis, you are a Fox viewer.
Anyway, I didn't need to see a stupid comment like that to tell me you watch Fox News most of the time, your comments in general tell me your a Right Winger that garners most of his information from Fox and friends.
You wish.
Leave him alone, he's a steelworker, he doesn't know any better.
There's another kind?
Correction .......... 2 1/2 minutes.
What makes you think he has a mother?
About as intellectual as you can get when you're talking about Fox News.
Never did take much to impress you.
Yeah, I liked your original avatar and was disappointed to see you changed it,
Typical Fox culture comment. All aboutexaggerationand fantasy.
And yet ANOTHER makes no sense comment from the Petey!
(talk about no communication skills.....)
