15 Thoughts to “Cable News Quiz”

  1. 1. Gretchen on Fox.
    5. Anderson Cooper…. like that was a surprise.

    That’s all I know. Don’t watch that much TV.

  2. Lafayette

    8 & 10..My favorite on Fox or and news channel, Shep!
    11 Crystal Ball
    4 Shannon Bream
    6 Greta Van Susteren

    1. #4 is wrong. hint: its someone I cannot stand

      Good job on the others!!!

      I gave Shep two just for you.

    2. I think you ought to get that one since she got her start in DC too. I dont know if she was a features reporter or not.

      I will email you the definitive answer but you get #4 also.

  3. Lafayette

    4 has me really stumped. I can’t think of anyone else from Channel 4 making it to the cable circuit. I can think of a couple from other local channels.

    Thanks for including my favorite. You know I take a lot of crap from the mister and the queen regarding Shep. 🙂

  4. Lafayette

    Shannon started out doing the sports, then they moved her to the features. Thanks for the credit. Can’t wait to see the email. I’ll probably being kicking myself.

  5. Cato the Elder

    I thought #5 was Shep?

    Or hasn’t he come out yet?

  6. Lafayette

    Cato the Elder :I thought #5 was Shep?
    Or hasn’t he come out yet?

    Now, now, Cato… Your sounding like my mister and daughter. He was married, once upon a time. 🙂

  7. Lafayette

    err, You’re sound….

    2 is Richard Maddow

    1. Yes. I posted the answers….they are below the fold. Sneaky Sneaky Moon.

  9. SlowpokeRodriguez

    Hannity was a bartender for a while, but I think there are a couple of bartenders here. Nobody knows who 11 is because nobody watches that show.

    1. I probably do. I can’t remember which is 11. Rachel is a bartender by avocation. She loves tending bar.

      She would like you also pokie.

    2. Yea, but a lot of people looked at what got her that show and I am sure you did too. In fact, I bet BC even commented on a reindeer nose or 2.

      I still think she needs to send Greg and Riley a fruit and wine basket each. She got the six figures a year job and they got to stay bloggers, giggling and being 7th grade misogynists in 40 plus year old bodies.

      I am always amazed at how Republicans who want people out of their business always somehow feel justified being in other people’s business, including business between husband and wife.

      Does that phenomena ever just baffling NR’s? NR = not republican

  10. SlowpokeRodriguez

    5….I’m going with Ed Schultz
