"News Blues for TV Insiders" reports in today's edition that former KODE anchor Malorie Maddox received a rather dubious honor. Actually, the word dubious is how I would phrase it. This is how the daily TV news blog characterized it:
"Yes, they have babes in Omaha.
"Blondiful WOWT-6-NBC morning new anchor Malorie Maddox narrowly beat out equally blondiful KETV-7-ABC reporter Brandi Peterson for the honor of 'hottest female TV personality in Omaha.'
"Local radio station KXSP sponsored the 10-day contest and gave the winner a bouquet of flowers, a trip to a beauty salon and a boatful of promotional swag."
While I personally have never seen a boatful of promotional swag, I can say I hope no Joplin-area radio station ever sponsors a promotion like that. Let's judge our news anchors and reporters by how well they do their job and not by their beauty.
Of course, at the same time that I am criticizing the promotion, here I am publicizing it.
So who is the hottest in Joplin? My vote is for Toni.
ReplyDeleteToni gets my vote too.
ReplyDeleteMy vote goes to Lisa Ooh la loliges!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's not, y'know, degrading or anything...
ReplyDeleteNot only is she hot, she is also very down to earth.
ReplyDeleteLisa O. is also a great reporter and anchor and producer and so on
ReplyDeleteand so on. She gets my vote for
the BEST Local TV personality.
Randy, totally agree with you on
ReplyDeletebasing the whole thing on how they
do their job! That is why they
are there, not some beauty contest. Mallory may be beautiful
but did was she good at her job??/
I also agree with comments about
Lisa Oliges, she is a true professional!
