I swear, this fat, oblong, blob-shaped thing they have on the weather portion of their broadcast is consistently distracting me from the news they wish to bring me. Do they have a fat girl quota they have to fill or something? What's with this channel??
I tune in the news to see some pretty-to-average looking women giving me the news in the world, but when my mind starts drifting as to how this woman feeding me the news can somehow lose weight, it starts to do a disservice to their viewers.
Those that know, chime in.

There are some many horrible American "news" outlets. I really hate Richard Quest. I don't understand why he still has a job. I think it takes less qualifications now a days to be "news" reporter than a Hogwan teacher.

Download some porn and stop expecting the women on CNN to appeal to you sexually. If that doesn't work, look at yourself naked in the mirror and ask if you measure up yourself.

The plump lady you're whining about actually does fine at giving the weather. She doesn't make the stupid jokes, just gives the weather and is fairly informative.

That one knob-end weather guy with the really thick European-sounding accent, now that's a vacuous idiot who really shouldn't be giving weather. He says the most obnoxious jokes and offhand comments.

god you're pathetic, mario ramos who you're talking about has been there at least a decade, is one of the better weather presenters out there.

if you want good looking news readers you need to go to fix noise thats all they have and you know what they are like

i agree though richard quest is the most annoying person they have there. i'm surprised he didnt get fired when he got caught with the meth and sex toys in central park a few years ago

because i'm in the mood, i'm going to assume this is some sort of joke.

it has to be - no one can be this judgmental of someone they don't even know on a television screen.

Plump lady is fine.

Latin guy is okay.

Richard Quest - how in the world was he able to save himself from getting fired after being arrested high and in possession of drugs and the dick rig he was wearing? CNN still kept him.

CNN, on the whole, is pretty bad. But then what American news anchors / TV hosts aren't phony and over-exaggerating these days? It's like they're acting all the time and making the news.
