“Is there a single woman on CNN who is only plain? Average? Iâ€™m thinking not. I mean, really.”

Meryl, Candy Crowley (sp?) has been on CNN for a number of years. She seems to be competent, and they often use her to handle some complex stories.

Well, as a Christian, I don’t really approve of this, but I have to agree that Israeli women tend to look much more fetching in uniform than those of other countries. No telling why.

Hey this is probably the first news article about Israel – in which it was not condemned outright!

Hypocrisy in the news business? I am shocked, shocked!

Really, the shallowness of TV and cable news can be really striking. Frankly, I couldn’t care if male or female reporters looked like Irving R. Levine, and he’s been dead a few years.

You are not on the fence. You are upset that Maxim did not exist when you were 23 and could have been a potential photo subject. :-)

The Daily Show already zinged CNN et. al. for this: http://www.geekwithlaptop.com/news-id-like-to-fk/

I have to admit that I find those women pleasing to the eye, but they’re also kind of insulting to my intelligence.

I’m sure that you would do as well if you were put on CNN, and you actually have brains as well as being able to read a teleprompter.

Indeed, Meryl, this is an issue that merits further study. Please post as much as you can in the way of similar pictures, both stills and video…a lot of it, please. Then we can give the evidence study…close study…and we candecide our position onit.
