Fox News appears to have removed their DOW ticker in a pattern for the company, choosing to block out the steep drop in DOW points after Trump’s tariff announcement

    Sorry not related, but why do all conservative American news women have this over done make up and fake looking hair? It really moves them into creepy territory. Like sort of evil clown creepy.

      This is actually a very big thing in conservative areas. It’s like they all want to be that princess that they were told they were at 3 years old.

      Many conservative American women strive to look like this, not just the news anchors. Among the women in orbit around Trump there are several with this same look. It’s all very artificial, with lots of makeup and plastic surgery, but apparently it’s an ideal in Republican circles.

      Some have suggested it’s because of puritanical upbringing. Girls learn how to do their makeup and the like by experimenting etc, but many puritanical families may act like a teen doing so is “dressing like a whore” or something. So they grow up it having the experience,and don’t know what to do so just imitate what they think they should look like instead of finding the look that looks good on them.

      The explanation is simple - they’re literally Nazis, and they like the Aryan archetype.

      TV executives like Roger Ailes setting a standard conservative news anchorwoman aesthetic to draw in their target audience who goes for that classic American blonde. No ethnic minorities need apply. Pant suits discouraged: gotta put those glass counters & leg cam to work.

        I heard he used to watch fox news on mute because he cared more about how it looked than what they said.
