This is not FOX NEWS driven at all. It is the way a lot of women dress to be in fashion. Especially in the big cities. In smaller towns they would be dressed in shorts or short shorts, and t-shirts. Still plenty of legs to show. Where are you digging up these pictures? I do recollect the guy but not at all sure about the female. Is she a regular or just a walk in type person, a temp?

It seems obvious to me that this image of the skirt length was photo-shopped.
 

I just now made a pic off the kennedy show on Fox News. Check out all those legs. No photoshop possible here.

You are correct Jim. Many of the ladies at FOX NEWS do wear skirts that are well above the knee and near mid thigh when walking. Those ladies also, but not all, determine to cross their legs when seated. There are some ladies on FOX that do wear a bit closer to the knee skirts and will not cross their legs and their feet will be flat on the floor. There are all kinds of lady's on FOX NEWS.

Were those photos just photo shopped? I know some were as the ladies were individual and were in party type dresses, somewhere, but not on FOX programs. Some folks just love to push shock when none is needed. FOX NEWS in general is no worse that what we see in our public, or on other TV programs, as some women just seem to be happy in the near risky dress they now wear. Want to see more leg, go to the beach or pools.
 
Or any other public place. It is no secret that lots of ladies love to show their legs. Still a lot of other ladies that do show some modesty on FOX NEWS or other places.

But Rachel is failing in her job of promoting the far left thinking and growing the crowd. She does do a decent program, so what if she is not gaining listeners for the MSNBC station. She already has the experience of no listeners for her talk shows, so it closed. Keep an eye for something similar with MSNBC is she does not start growing her listener folks.

So who exactly assigned Rachel the "job" of promoting far left thinking....etc? The whole quoted statement above smacks of the typical far right wing misconceptions prevalent with the FOX-views crowd.

Perhaps I am out of sync with the current political labeling, but I view Rachel as pretty much a level headed centrist. I don't know, I thought that being in favor of what's good for people is good for the country.

[off topic] Maybe I'm wrong, maybe supporting a political climate more favorable to corporations and the wealthy, rather than the average citizen...is "what's good" for the country. :p

Can anybody list a current politician that fits the "centrist" or "middle-of-the-road" label?

I watch some Fox news everyday RadishRose, and the skirt length is very short, and some have cleavage showing. https://youtu.be/ZrfEZ7HvQOg I know a lot of women like to show leg and other assets, but some, not all of those "news reporters" look like their going out for an evening of clubbing, not reporting on news stories.

Nevertheless, I respect those who choose to watch only Fox, those who want to only watch MSNBC, or people who go to CNN or other sources for their news. I personally am not a news buff, my husband watches more news than I do and reads the daily paper, and he switches back and forth to different channels, seems to be a good thing for us anyway. Personal choice to be sure.

As far as the original post in this thread, regardless of where that reporter was from, I disagree with her rant. I do that with great respect for the OP also. I don't fault the President.

Rachel Maddox has said in interviews she is a liberal, tnthomas, and it's also in her Wikipedia bio.

Unfortunately, Rachel is not a centrist at all. She does favor the far left idea and the direction we, the US, has been going. MSNBC is far left in many ways. And so is the direction the US has been going for a number of years. Far left towards total socialism. Not sure that is the way our government was designed.

Why should the people end up as puppets for the government as far too many countries in Europe have done. There was nothing wrong with the US government set up of people first and then the county or state and finally the US federal government to try to hold it all together. Nothing in our Constitution that demands a iron fist federal government telling the states how to handle their people. We are quickly getting everything backwards to the way our country is supposed to run. We are supposed to decide what is to be done and vote in people to do those things. But it has gone wrong as far too many people make it their career to be in the government and telling us how they want things done. That all needs changed. Maybe shorter terms of service. Two terms in Senate and maybe something different for the House, maybe 6 or 8 terms. What we have had for too many years are folks that get elected and then want to stay forever.

One step would be to remove party from the ballots. Just make it a vote for the people then if people want party to win they would have to know each person running in their district and vote for them by the voters knowledge only. No looking and voting only for the 'Name' D or 'Name' R or 'Name'(what ever). Put the vote back in the hands of the voters and not the parties.
 
I concede Rachael is a liberal, left. But why BobF do you always use FAR left? I have yet to simply say someone is a liberal or left. It's always your monotonous and repetitious FAR left. Get real dude.

Misty, I think the point here is that whether Rachel Maddow is a liberal or not, it is not her job to "promote" far left thinking and "grow" the viewership.

Well, if Rachel is a burden to the station, then her job will dwindle or she will be let go. That is what happened to her radio station assignment. If she is doing well enough for MSNBC, then she is OK for now. But usually stations like to see followings to stay steady or grow bigger.

It's not Maddow's or Msnbc's job to promote left ideology. But if nobody is listening there won't even be a forum/show to promote any ideology or express any views.

I watch some of Maddow's stories. She's actually covered things that FOX or CNN only touched on. She covered things on the Boston Marathon Bombing that others did not. She was the only one to really question the 30 some odd bullet holes in a so called witness that drew a knife on several arm FBI agents.

One of her biggest problems is that jazz solo at the beginning of most segments. I understand some stories need SOME background but you don't need spew everything the research staff produced or that you know. Not all information needs side comments. That's a problem not only with professional pundits but us common folk as well. Ever ask a question that only needs a simple short answer and get a story which is frequently nothing but a knowledge dump by a person trying to show how smart or on top of things they are? This is one reason Fox does better in the ratings, they don't dwell as much. Anderson Cooper is frequently guilty of the same thing although I think that's CNN producers covering a story that seems to be popular for ratings.

But without an audience the show and message could die.
 
You are correct.... Fox doesn't "dwell as much".... that's for sure... why go in depth when some hateful rantings and ravings and Obama bashing will be sufficient for the viewership's intellect?

I was only speaking about that ONE photo, not any other. It really looks shopped to me. That's all.

If speaking of the photo of 5 or 6 lined up, I would agree. They were not dressed in work cloths at all. The photo's were not at FOX NEWS either. So if that photo I would agree with you.

I read her wikipedia page, and she in fact labels herself as a liberal. I don't care so much about a person's political viewpoint, as long as they can discuss the issues with those who disagree, in a civilized fashion. I used to enjoy William F. Buckley Jr's show- Firing Line.

In my view William F. Buckley had the intellect, the credentials, the finesse to do a good job of stating his case, or questioning an opposing view, and being able to allow both himself and his guest to part ways with dignity and respect.

But, continuing with Rachel Maddow, I did see mention from impartial sources that her program did in fact have "ratings slippage". Not wanting to commit a statistical fallacy- I am not seeing a causal

connection between the decline of TRMS viewer volume, and the message that she conveys....as has been insinuated in several posts in this thread.

Despite what you conservatives think..... LIBERAL is NOT a dirty word. Yes.. Maddow is a liberal... I'm a liberal... I like being a liberal I am proud of being a liberal and believe it's the BEST political ideology..... So what..??
 
QS, methinks there may be confusion by some posters as to what constitutes the difference between liberal, a moderate, centrist, sociopolitical viewpoint, and, shudder, gulp, SOCIALISM!!!! In five months on this forum, I have yet to read one far left socialist post. Who are these closeted leftists, and where are their threads/posts? Pink Canadians want to know!

Is that a surprise? Those with FOX news plugged into their umbilicus tend to be misinformed..
