April 3 - Rant Of The Day

You all know what a patient person I am. (Yeah, right.) That's probably the reason I watch so many newscasts - usually all at once. I just don't have time for a commercial. That's why God invented the remote control.

Aside from Sean "won't let a person get a word in" Hannity and Glen "the world is coming to an end" Beck, I generally like the news coverage on Fox. I don't mind getting a balanced dose of views. In fact, I enjoy Shephard Smith's evening broadcast perhaps more than any other newscast, local or national.

(As an aside, I've had a belly full of Lou Dobbs' nightly whining about illegal immigration, followed by Nancy Grace's 737th show in a row on the trial of Casey Anthony on CNN. But that's another blog.)

So, the other morning I was flipping through the news shows and landed on Fox, where the news anchors were outraged (as usual) by how thoroughly non-conservative and non-traditional something ridiculous was. It was probably followed immediately by a thought provoking story on the world's largest ball of twine.

I can't remember exactly what they were talking about. I just remember that all three of the morning anchors were outraged over the non-traditionalism of it all. That's when I noticed that the blond anchorwoman they always have wedged between the two suit-clad men on the sofa was tugging at her skirt trying to keep from flashing the camera with her baby maker.

Has anyone noticed that they profess to be so "conservative" and "traditional", but the woman on the morning news can barely keep her boobs from popping out? Meanwhile, it's not like the guys are sitting there with their shirts unbuttoned. In fact, their neckties couldn't be any tighter. Meanwhile, "tootsie-bell" has had to learn to walk with her legs crossed because she has been sitting that way for so long, her legs are stuck.

Do I sense a little hypocrisy on the morning set of Fox News? Can you all over there at Fox please let your female morning anchor put some clothes on? I really don't want to have to be able to tell when she is due for her next bikini wax.

I admire that you watch them to get a balanced view (puke, puke), but do you also watch their enemy station, MSNBC? Just curious...
