Fox 13 News

I was originally quite excited when Fox 13 (local Fox affiliate) announced that they had obtained as a co-anchor, the attractive(and single) brunette, Hope Woodside. Unfortunately, in the eyes of the viewing public, as things often will do, this young lady did not live up to her promise. Maybe it was the loss of her sidekick Jodie Sayland (the attractive and perky weather gal), mayhaps for other reason, but Hope has become Hopeless!
Overall the station has not done badly with the limited talent available to it. They have taken their limitations in stride and tended to laugh at themselves. (check out big Bubba!)
I don't have cable so I cannot say what the pay-for news is like, yet if they are professional and they can be honest with themselves.... they have a couple of problems here!
When Hope is on screen my family make a game of keeping track of the total numbers of fax pas that she commits and compare them to previous days for the record maximum. You just have to pay attention and not get caught up in laughter, as when she catches herself or her earpiece tells her something and she goes momentarily cross-eyed!
Sorry Bossy but unwashed pasture hair is so out of style and no matter how hard you personally try I don't think you will end up being a trend setter. I don't like it and several others have commented on it that I have heard.
A further problem that they seem to be blissfully unaware of is that they (Fox 13 anchors and reporters) do not make the news. It does seem that they keep trying to blow stories up BIG and fast so they can get credit for the "breaking story reported first on FOX 13!". I do know that the FCC has threatened them at least once for the way that they were reporting, (they said this themselves, or maybe it was one of the other channels reporting on them!(very cutthroat)) and I do also know that they have lost a lot of market share for their constant displays of arrogance. I do not watch the news for somebody's ignorant and unintelligent opinions, I want the facts reported as they say - "fair and Balanced". OMG! Hope Woodside won SLC's Best Anchorwoman for about 12 years in a row now. ... Tells you what the rest of the ladies are like!
(hang in there with "Hope", She' ll find a man (that stays around) someday!)
