It was a tough choice, but I went with Couric for her hard hitting story on colonoscopies.

A fun one!

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

Maybe not but they're still better than the other options.

I don’t see Brit Hume as a choice. And Rush and Colbert aren’t news anchors. I don’t like any of the other choices, but Smith would be the least offensive of the remaining three.

But I’m not voting.

I freeped it earlier. I didn’t think Rush would go below 95% since 790 KNST is Tucson’s premier conservative AM station.

But I didn’t take into account how liberal Tucson is. I should have known better since I live here.

I also note the politically incorrect use of the term “anchorman” in the poll question!

Rush Limbaugh I don’t consider a “news anchor”. I thought he was a commentator.

Nonetheless, none of these fit the bill, imo. I like Brit Hume on FoxNews the best right now, as anchor.

It's Jim Parisi's poll. He's not politically correct by any means. He spoke at the Tucson Tea Party on April 15 and he hosts the morning show on that station.
