Sorry I turn to the news for news not views! Why are sooooo many stations going to female on air people? Because they pay them less!

That and guys like looking at hot girls and hot girls bring in more viewers and more viewers bring in higher ratings and higher ratings bring in more advertisement revenue.

Why have news girls?

Because men are focused more on visual stimulus than audible stimulus.
(the only exception is the sound of breaking fish at night)

Men will watch news presented by women without really caring about the news content. Also keep in mind that with most news stations having 4+ hours of morning news, 1 hour of noon news, 2 hours of afternoon news and 1.5 hours of night time news, they need to draw your attention somehow?

Why do you think that there are no overweight female newscasters?
Why are virtually all female newscasters made from the same mold?
(You couldn't tell what station you were watching if you couldn't see the news staff and they announced the station call letters before and after each and every news break!)

I want the news, not commentary, not some idiotic giggling schoolgirl/boy approach to a story, and I certainly don't need to hear about the aftermath of a story from every Tom, #^&#^&#^&#^& and Harry that lived in a three mile radius of the story's epicenter!

What's up with most of the Fox girls being blond haired, could it be they had a sale on bleach products or too smart for MSNBC

It is the same with the weather channel. Most of the girls are from Wisconsin or Minn and are all blonde. Many news channels have girls that are dressed in evening dresses or cocktail party attire that exploses many nooks and crannies. Look at the cooking shows and what they wear. Basswipe is right, it attracts men who just gawk at the TV and drool. Here is a nice clip about how to make a plum cake. Now after watching the video, please tell me what she was making...

This one needs to apply at fox:

"What difference does it make!!"

Women currently make up 40% 0f the bread winners and therefore it's smart to use women on news stations as it draws them in, as they can relate, as well as men.
Megan Kelly is a beautiful woman and at the same time one of the most intelligent
news casters there is, imho.
Then there is Gretta Van Sustren, maybe not the most good looking woman, but again very intelligent, knows how to ask the right questions, and gets interviews that few others are able to get.
