Didn't Ted Turner say something about the news being the star?

Sorry, wrong. Choose from the six above.

Richard Quest is my "favorite." He sounds exactly like one of Mike Myers's Saturday Night Live recurring characters: Kenneth Reese Evans (aka Cucumber Jones), host of Theatre Stories.

I mean come on, this guy needs the attention simply driving through town in his SUV back to his house.

Hey, O.J. worked for NBC, not CNN.

And not only that, he worked for the Sports division, not NBC News.

But he stopped appearing in 1994. Budget cuts, perhaps?

No, no...trust me, CNN had it's fair share of showing O.J. Simpson on TV...in fact, I'd venture to say that O.J. (though never hired by CNN professionally) has appeared more on that station in that 1+ year of coverage/trial than most of the full-time paid CNN personnel.

Let OJ be. He's spending all his time now finding the real killer. He'll get his revenge.

Robin Meade is gorgeous, I'd prefer she keep her mouth shut with all that squeaky, gushing "welcome it's so nice to see you how are you today we're sooo glad you decided to join us!!!". Then again, she did a quick impression of the Cookie Monster one morning, she had me at cookie.

I love Lou Dobbs, he's my hero...speaking out about the invasion of the US by illegals and our dumbass politicians who are doing practically nothing about it.

Nancy Grace. Maudlin self-parody and flaring nostrils have never seen a more glorious incarnation. I lost a lot of respect for CNN when she was hired.

Anderson Cooper...peh.

Nancy Grace had some good fake tears the other night—she made me laugh out loud.

At least she's restricted to CNN Headlline News and doesn't contaminate the mother channel or the international channel.

For a while I thought Nancy Grace was being groomed as an eventual replacement for Larry King, but with CNN/U.S. President John Klein showing major distaste for talk, especially bickering, I genuinely believe; should he retire, die, or otherwise become unable to host a talk show; Larry King will be replaced by an hour of news.

I give her a pass on the attention whore-ing. She sometimes makes herself the story, but she's also often in parts of the world most people wouldn't dare visit.

As for pictures...


Anderson Cooper, anchor of Anderson Cooper 360


Lou Dobbs, anchor of Lou Dobbs's Thinly Veiled Opinions Presented as News... I mean, Lou Dobbs Tonight


Nancy Grace, host of Nancy Grace--she's 4' 11"; it's amazing how much ego can fit inside a little body


A.J. Hammer, host of Showbiz Tonight


Robin Meade, anchor of Robin & Company


Richard Quest, host of Quest

Ahahaha! AJ Hammer looks like he belongs in a Gap ad. Robin Meade looks like she's had a good deal of work done on that grill of hers. Richard Quest's teeth are very big and very white (and that jacket and tie have got to go). I hate Nancy Grace, always have. Lou Dobbs looks like someone I just wouldn't like if I met him. Anderson Cooper, well, he's just Anderson Cooper: Drama King.

Thanks for those pics!

Hey, CNN isn't that bad. I had to use people from three different CNN channels to put together this poll.

Be thankful I didn't do a Fox News attention whore poll. The number of choices would take down this forum's database. (Which is what happens when many of your anchors, hosts, and reporters come from talk radio, Inside Edition, or are Geraldo Rivera.)
