I find this annoying. Like she's the ultimate authority! Until I googled her, <em>I once thought she worked for the government</em>. Nope, she works for CNN.

She may say she works for CNN but she really works for the government first because she totally buys whatever line anyone in the Pentagon feeds her.

BINGO

An example of that would be interesting.

Because when she isn't reporting, she is held in a sealed underground compartment.

Right, they keep her in a bunker. That tired "i just got out of bed look" makes her version more compelling.

I'd rather see that "tired. I just got out of bed look" than some busty DD, blonde chippie, wearing a skin tight sweater that's unbuttoned down to there, and a micro-mini skirt and 5 inch hooker heels, any day.

She reports. She's not a pundit.

I like Barbara Starr.

This is such a mean thread.

Sorry. I am not impressed. I have no idea who she is.

Too funny!! Have to say, that I don't care what the CNN employees look like but they should get their job on merit and not looks.
