"Why Are All the Females at Fox News Blonde?

[LongTomH]

Inquiring minds want to know.

The women on Fox, whether they be anchors or guests, are quite different from the women found on other news channels. They wear a lot more make-up. They are a lot more, shall we say, blonde.

Yeah, well, You could say that........

This holds true as well for their behavior, especially when interacting with men at Fox News. There’s a very strange dynamic at work between the men and women of Fox News. The women laugh, giggle, and say silly things. The male host condescends and says that the women are wrong.

It’s all very strange, even weird. Sure, there’s a time and place for things like this to occur, but this is a news channel. Supposedly.

Yeah, supposedly........

Fox News, of course, is America’s main outlet for conservatism. One hopes that the higher degree of blondeness of women at Fox News has nothing to do with this. Surely conservatives aren’t that superficial, right?

Yeah, right!!!!!

1. Sex Sells

eom

[BillZBubb]

2. Clairol?

I guess Rupert prefers blondes.

[smirkymonkey]

10. Strange, because his wife was Asian.

you would think he would have a few token Asians on the network.

[shenmue]

3. The viewer demographic is old men

[LongTomH]

4. ding, ding, ding!!!!! We have a winner!!!!

[silverweb]

20. Yup.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]One gentleman I know in his early 70s, actually a very nice guy and an old-time moderate Republican in most respects, says, "Because they're pretty. What's wrong with that?"

He wears a bemused smile as he says this and it's obvious that he very much enjoys watching them just because he thinks they're "pretty."

Fox is marketing fantasies to its demographic base, both sexual and political, and the old white men love it.

[JDPriestly]

6. You got it!

Actually, some of these women may have a lot of gray hair that they are covering up with bleach. Some of them may be considerably older than people think they are.

[smirkymonkey]

9. Bingo! That's exactly it!

WHITE old men.

[Cleita]

15. Dirty white old men. eom

[6chars]

38. Perverts

[woolldog]

48. What's perverted about men being attracted to women?

[Art_from_Ark]

56. Apparently, some people think that once men start getting gray hairs,

they suddenly become old goats and cradle robbers if they are attracted to younger women

[TheCowsCameHome]

14. ...and mostly hard of hearing.

Ever walk the corridors of a rest/assisted living home?

[JDPriestly]

5. Because they don't want to be viewed as the brunettes that they really are.

It's a form of racism within racism.

[Cleita]

11. That always made me wonder.

You know the 'gentlemen prefer blondes but marry brunettes' saying back in the forties and fifties. It's very sexist too saying in effect that the sexy woman was for the bedroom and the little brown mouse was for the kitchen. Maybe it speaks to the demographic of dirty old men that Fox speaks to.

[JDPriestly]

25. Precisely! Of course, I'm a brunette so I have my own point of view on this.

I sang from my earliest childhood.

So for the Christmas play they chose me to be Mary and sing Silent Night.

I was very upset about that. I wanted to be an angel because they got to sing the Glorias and their notes were higher and more challenging. I was not old enough to appreciate the fact that Mary was the star of the play (unless you count the doll that was dressed up as baby Jesus).

I was told that I could not be an angel because the angels had to have yellow hair and since my hair was jet black, and I mean blue-jet black, I had to be the Mary. Nothing else would do.

That was the 1940s. I have never forgotten.

[packman]

27. Aww-that's so cute

I bet you were a sweet little angel, but look at you now

[JDPriestly]

30. I never got to be the angel. I was Mary. She was the one impregnated by God.

Remember. She must have been very attractive is all I can say.

My story happened in the 1940s. Now, well, I try, but nature has its way.

[pinboy3niner]

37. You're an angel to us

[Cleita]

7. Hitler would approve?

Nice Aryan specimens. Methinks Roger Ailes likes nice Aryan specimens.

[katmondoo]

8. They have to have good legs

The dress has to always be above the knee at just a certain point. I laugh at their morning show. One blond between two Alfa Males with her dress pulled up and legs crossed, always the same even if it is a different blond.

[Cleita]

12. That's so obvious. A young male neighbor of mine admitted to me that it is why he watches

Fox News when I scolded him for getting his news there.

[davidn3600]

22. The obvious leg show is actually kind of ridiculous at times

It seems every single program with a panel that includes a woman has her in a specific position where her legs are on full display.

It's obviously done on purpose.

[JDPriestly]

26. Uggggggh! Sickening!

[IggleDoer]

29. They also lower the camera a little to get a better viewing angle ...

... Up their dresses.

[davidn3600]

34. They are trying to win a "Major Award"

13. New Study Explains Why Fox News Is Obsessed With Sex And Porn

Fox’s women exclusively wear short skirts and it has been reported that they have been ordered by management to do so. Gabriel Sherman wrote in his biography of Fox News CEO Roger Ailes, “The Loudest Voice In The Room,” that Ailes has repeatedly given direction to his staff regarding the display of female body parts. Furthermore, NPR’s media reporter David Folkenflik was told by knowledgeable sources about the Fox News “Leg Cam” that “goes directly for the legs.” And when host Megyn Kelly was interviewed by GQ (with an accompanying, and revealing, pictorial), she was asked about her own “glass table that shows off your legs.” She responded that “Well, It’s a visual business. People want to see the anchor.” That must be why Sean Hannity struts across the stage in those fuck-me pumps.

A new study published in the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior sheds some light on why Fox features so much skin. The study found that “American states that identify as more religious and conservative are also more apt to search for sex online.” The researchers concluded that in parts of the country where sexuality is suppressed by religious tradition, there is a pent up demand for that forbidden fruit.

While the study is an interesting window into the lascivious psyche of conservative America, it also helps to explain the decisions by Fox News programmers. As a network devoted to a staunchly right-wing, Christian audience, much of their viewership comes from the states that this study identifies as porn fiends. Consequently, Fox is catering to the demands of their audience. No doubt Fox’s marketing executives figured out a long time ago what this study is affirming more scientifically.

Additionally, at 69 years, Fox’s viewers er … voyeurs skew much older than their competitors. So what we have here is an audience of bible-thumping, Tea Partying, leches who are cooped up in rural communities that look askance at prurient interests. Thus, Fox becomes their source of gratification for both erotic and political arousal. And make no mistake, the obsessive nature of Fox’s concentration on tabloid thrill-fiction like Benghazi and Obama’s birth certificate is the news equivalent of porn. It is presented with a lustful glee and repeated ad nauseam.

18. I once wrote Hannity, that the Fox women he had on his show looked like hookers

not journalists. I never got a reply. I wonder why?

[Ichingcarpenter]

19. Edward Bernays and the Art of Public Manipulation

A great summary of Sigmund Freuds nephew, Edward Bernays' influence on corporate and political marketing. Known as the father of public relations

Bernays was a pioneer in introducing psychological concepts in to the political and corporate worlds, concepts so successful it borders on mind control. Covers his work ranging from breaking a taboo and selling cigarettes to women to selling Guatamala's leader as a communist in league with the Soviets.

It goes to show how strongly people can be influenced by appealing to their unconscious desires and it is thanks to his work that today we live in a consumerist society that focuses on desire over need and places an egotistic self over a selfless collective. If you are interested in this I highly recommend watching 'The Century Of The Self. ;

[Person 2713]

42. I highly rec The Century of Self also

[JDPriestly]

28. Wow! Perfectly describes a certain Fox addict that I know.

Amazing! Makes sense!

[cloudbase]

45. "That must be why Sean Hannity struts across the stage in those fuck-me pumps."

Thanks for the image.

I'm cutting you out of my will.

[TheCowsCameHome]

16. Fear not, we'll get to the root of this.

[TheCowsCameHome]

17. Could it be because Fox in general is a joke?

[davidn3600]

21. Blonde hair on women is linked with sex appeal in our culture

Fox is selling a little bit of sexual imagery to keep their main demographic glued to the TV.

[Liberal In Texas]

23. Stepford Anchors

It's "babe news". And the sets are designed to make sure you can see they're showing lots of leg.

[TexasProgresive]

24. It's the video version of The Sun's "Page 3"

They don't go as far as having them topless but I'm sure they would if they thought they could get away with it.

[mwooldri]

31. And not ethnically diverse. But thats TV in general.

Some broadcasters are still too white.

[Turbineguy]

32. Aryan superiority?

[n2doc]

33. Clip of typical Fox viewer

[DawgHouse]

39. LOL, man I love this movie!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

35. They're living in an America of 60 years ago and so are their viewers

Back then the popular belief was that blondes were better and sexier. The old Miss Clairol commercials had slogans like "is it true blondes have more fun?" and "if I've only one life to live, let me live it as a blonde".

[Hekate]

36. They are Lady Clairol ladies. nt

[WinkyDink]

40. Hmmmm. It is to ponder, this puzzlement. Because FOX thinks its male viewers prefer this?

[yuiyoshida]

41. There is an exception

[Cleita]

44. Asian girls are second in preference in the job beauty contest.

I was looking for a job once and there was one at a computer company (back when they had the big main frames) that I had done a temp job at and they liked my work. It was a good company to work for so there seldom were full time hire job openings. However, a new CEO had taken over, and he specifically requested for the agency not to send him any ordinary girls. He was creating an image and wanted his office staff to look exotic perhaps favoring polynesian or Asian looks. I only laughed with the head hunter. Usually, the favorite hire then was a blonde with an English accent.

[Octafish]

43. Roger Ailes likes it that way.

Guy's big into the Aryan look -- for Rupert.

[spanone]

46. don't confuse faux with a news channel. it is the propaganda wing of the republican party.

little else.

[MrMickeysMom]

47. SOP of mein fuer

[Iggo]

49. Know your audience.

[Thor_MN]

50. They likely aren't, but that is what the corporation wants.

Compared to the lies they spout on regular basis, a little peroxide is a relatively small lie.

[Skittles]

51. FAKE blonde, please

[BlueStateLib]

52. old men prefer looking at 30 year old blondes

But the majority of those viewers are over the age of 55. In fact, the median age for O'Reilly is now just over 72 years old. The average Fox News viewer overall is 68.8, while the average ages of MSNBC and CNN viewers were 62.5 and 62.8, respectively.May 29, 2014

[kelliekat44]

53. Aryan nation, remember. nt

[NYCButterfinger]

54. They're all beautiful women.

I would date some of them, but their policies I don't support. Sex sells. That's the way it is.

[DAMANgoldberg]

57. Better question: why are all the women (and men) at Faux News right-wing fuckwads?
