Rabe and her colleague Leila Samson wanted to see how sexy anchors affect men's ability to retain the actual news, so they devised an experiment in which they asked hundreds of them to watch the same 24-year-old anchor deliver a broadcast twice -- once dressed in modest attire and another time in something more revealing, complete with jewelry, makeup and cleavage.The study, published online in the journal Communication Research, found that men were more likely to closely watch the sexy anchors but less likely to remember what they said. So networks that hire attractive news anchors may get higher ratings but have less-informed male viewers as a result.
Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".
Why make studies on crap we already know?And the fact that it was women asking the question....
I watch Robin Meade on HLN, AKA: "Happy Land News". I guess she does the stories in English; I never turn the sound on.
My dad gets irritated because he resents the manipulation of getting us to stare instead of listen. Anyway, he's old. Gretchen Carlson not bad but still no E.D. Hill in knee high boots. Can't remember the chick they had on Fox News new year's coverage but she had the whole store front on display.
Gotta put a good word in here for s. e. cupp.DD

Hawkmoon - Never underestimate another person's capacity for stupidity. Any time you think someone can't possibly be that dumb ... they'll prove you wrong.
Viking - The problem with the modern world is that there aren't really any predators eating stupid people.
