Who Are Your Favorite Cable News Anchors/Personalities?
Brown Eyes:
For me personally, my hands-down favorite is Keith Olbermann.
I think Olbermann is very intelligent, articulate and seems genuinely capable of critical thinking.
Of course, favorites here also, often reflect personal political leanings as well.
**Footnote** If anyone can suggest some female anchors for me to add to this list I would be very grateful. It's very disheartening to me, actually, to look at this list and see how male dominated it is. I put Nancy Grace on here almost out of desperation... but maybe there are some female anchors out there that I'm not aware of. I know there are some wonderful/brave/smart reporters... but in this case, essentially I'm interested in hosts of shows.

Hi Amanda!
Here's a few female reporters: Carol Costello (CNN), Christiane Amanpour (CNN), Zain Verjee (CNN), Suzanne Malveaux (CNN), Chris Jansing (MSNBC), Alison Stewart (MSNBC), Contessa Brewer (MSNBC), Julie Bandaras (Fox), Laurie Dhue (Fox), Martha MacCallum (Fox) and Greta Van Susteren (Fox).
There's a couple of male reporters on Fox I like too! Even though I don't like Fox, I can't help but watch them when they are on. Bill Hemmer and Shepard Smith. Both reporters seem fairly liberal, and both are extremely cute too! :)
Shasta542:
Bill O'Reilly and Joe Scarborough.
I like Greta Van Susteran too.

Heya David! Thanks for this list! Yes, I'm very much aware of a lot of these amazing reporters. I'm in constant awe of Christiane Amanpour and I know she hosts specials once in a while but I think of her really as a correspondent and not as a regular host with a regularly scheduled program. Just to keep this poll reined in I'd like to limit this to major hosts. I think of some of these others as correspondents too.
We could almost have a separate poll for just cool reporters. Also, obviously... since the focus of this poll is cable news... there's no Katie Couric, etc.
I'm going to edit this poll a bit and I'll make it so folks can change their votes and I'm also going to increase the number of choices folks can make... hang in there friends...
;D
