Trust me, this is completely on-topic; it's funny, I just ran into it like 10 mins. before I spotted this thread:

When women join the "fair and balanced" network, they get "Foxified"
Excerpt:
When I used to produce talk radio programs for the ABC affiliate in the Bay Area, and the host had a legal issue he wanted to discuss, I often booked a brilliant and beautiful law professor as an expert: Lis Wiehl. After 9/11, she was hired by Fox News. The next time I saw her on TV, I only recognized her by her name in the byline.
Fox News is a modern day Stepford factory for accomplished women. By turning professors and authors into porn star doppelgangers, the network effectively communicates what women say is not as important how they appear.
The older, winkled, balding male stars of the news channel obviously have different physical requirements to get a job on TV. Maybe Palin earns some of those privileges, because she's already famous with her own loyal following. We'll have to wait and see if her brown hair and Tina Fey glasses survive the preferences of Fox News President Roger Ailes, himself not the most svelte, glossy headed guy in town.

As for the Fox babes, I find most of them to be "meh" - Gretchen Tucker Carlson doesn't help herself with her annoying personality. Actually, now that I think of it, that applies to pretty much all of the Fox Femmebots.
