The Political Leanings Of America's Anchors
Harris Poll asked TV viewers, both Democrat and Republican, to name their favorite and least liked news personalities. The results of the survey, crunched and displayed on our chart, are fascinating.- 1. Katie Couric, at the extreme left of our chart, is so heavily disliked by Republican viewers that the new CBS anchor might as well be a communist.
- 2. By calculating the balance of Democratic and Republican opinion, we arrayed the anchors across the political spectrum: nearly two-thirds of the anchors slant left, at least in respondents minds; but the right-wing anchors of Fox News are the most polarizing.
- 3. Viewers are surprisingly indifferent to Lou Dobbs: I would have thought the CNN anchor's anti-immigration stance would have won him more conservative fans.
- 4. Disliked by all political tribes: CNN's diaper-wearing Larry King; oh-so-serious Wolf Blitzer; Fox's token liberal, Alan Colmes; CNN's graceless Nancy Grace and Scientologist Greta Van Susteren.
- 5. All things to all people: ABC nightly news anchor Charlie Gibson; NBC's Brian Williams; and, surprisingly, CNN's silver fox, Anderson Cooper. (Better not let the social conservatives know that he likes Latin men!)

Nancy Grace Married, With Childs
Freakish vigilante Nancy Grace is set to spawn twins. The CNN anchor, whose inability to understand the concept of "innocent until proven guilty" has endeared her to the mass of Americans with "string 'em up" philosophies of justice and only the slightest concept of the protections provided under our Constitution, secretly wed an Atlanta investment banker in April, and she's telling the world. Just not her employers. More » -

You'll need at least three years production experience in the television industry, good presentation skills, and "superb integrity." Also, you need to be quick on your feet with a rape joke.

Rapist Hijinks and Hilarity With Nancy Grace
The above clip is bit aged, but we've not seen it floating around as much as it should be, and you'll be suffering from a case of the chuckles as you watch CNN anchor/White Rain-spokeswoman Nancy Grace and her loveable sidekick Clark Goldband find the humor in the Duke Lacrosse rape case. If you've not yet seen it, we promise that it'll go well with your morning coffee. Take only one lesson from this: sexual assault equals comedy gold. More » -

A Double Terror Was Waiting for You
It is not pleasant to be idly flipping channels late at night and happen across Headline News, on which appears two seemingly identical Nancy Graces, both blondely staring back at you. Such wrath, you imagine; such anger, such concern for missing white women. Then you realize it could be worse: It could be MSNBC and two Rita Cosbys. More » -

"I'm the one who kept you on the air and I knew I could sue you afterwards," Stern says Les Moonves told him, presumably with an enormous, blindingly white smile. [NYT] More »
