UPDATED 2-19-08 12:54 pm "What Ailes Fox News?"Why is Fox News bikini bonehead Courtney Friel placed on the Fox News weekend set like a potted plant? I was watching anchors Julie Banderas and Greg Jarrett yesterday when the shot went wide and there was non sequitur Courtney Friel sitting there along with a dweeby Griff Jenkins - whoever the hell he is. A radio guy Fox is transitioning to the tube?
Back to the two shot. I observed a hostile Miz Julie shooting a glance in Miz Courtney's off-camera direction. There clearly is animosity on the set. The bikini babe was handed one reader on the dead satellite the U.S. is planning to destroy and then she vaporized into the TV etherland. Stanford wouldn't hand Lindsay Lohan an honorary Ph.D in physics. Why is this out-of-her-league chick on this show, I ask you?
The bonehead has a blog. Embarrassing. To wit: "Just added some lowlights in my hair for the fall. Which do you like better- contrast or Fox blonde? I 'm undecided. Hello! This isn't so much of a blog- it's more show and tell...I'm not good with the html codes it takes me forever to post pics, etc. Plus I've been super busy at Fox! My 10 month anniversary is coming up! I was on Fox News Watch recently talking about blogs. I've also been doing news updates at random times!
I hosted Fox&Friends the other weekend. It was my first time saying "This is a Fox News Alert!"-when Hurricane Dean was slamming into Jamaica.
For the past couple months I've been a part of "Fox News Live" in the afternoons, co-hosting with Greg Jarrett, Julie Banderas and Griff Jenkins. Ok Folks- I am starting to have some consistency now- appearing on the same shows so you can watch out for me. "The Big Story with John Gibson" airs from 5-6pm ET. I'm usually on twice a week in the 2nd half of the show giving entertainment reports. John is very nice but I think he could care less [sic - it's couldn't care less] about what Paris, Lindsay and Britney are up to.
Woohoo- some consistency on a show in the week (3 days only- since I work wknds now.) I love it- "Happening Now with Jane Skinner and Jon Scott". 11am-1pm ET....I show up during both hours and give the top stories on FoxNews.com and online buzz.
What speak volumes are the 58 photos of HERSELF on the main page. Courtney Friel blog
Hiring good-looking talent is valid. But with this babe there is no there there. Miz Courtney not only lacks credibility but it is abundantly clear she is untrainable. Dr. Frankenstein Fox suits attempted this experiment in prime time with World Wrestling hostess Lauren Jones in "Anchorwoman" by planting Jones at a Texas TV anchor desk. The lame ass "reality show" blew up after one absurd episode.
Miz "Abandon All Ye Hope Those Who Enter" Friel is so terminally dim and damned gushing on her blog that Shep Smith is "hot."

You've written about the animosity at Fox over this woman. I can assure you it is true. We're all wondering why she is here.
You put her on your New Year's list People I Wish Would Disappear. I'm with you. It's great to look at beautiful women but this one doesn't belong on a TV news network. There's no "bringing along" this woman, just like you said.
She's been there more than a year and it makes one wonder why she is being kept in a position for which she is clearly unfit. Sort of like sticking Brit Hume on MTV's TRL.
Can anyone figure out why she gets so much airtime in proportion to her limited capabilities? Rudi Bahktiar is not only a beautiful woman, but also intelligent and has experience, yet she was hardly given a chance before the Fox suits tossed her out.
Marty, you left out the part of her blog where she gushed over how "hot" (actually "um hot") Shep Smith is. She used to be on his shows all the time but seems to have disappeared from them. If only that would apply to the rest of the network.
They also stick her on the late morning show with Skinner & Scott, to read the list of stories that are the most clicked-on on the FoxNews website. Wow, that's some major reporting.
Not very impressive for a "politics reporter.: http://courtneyfriel11.lyro.com/
She can't handle breaking news, she can't interview people who aren't actors, she can't adlib, she can't offer opinions on anything complex (or anything non-Hollywood). Her airtime is way out of proportion to her capabilities, and it seems that she was given a new contract. Makes no sense and tells me that Fox isn't serious about news.
I was going to put in how "hot" she thought Shep Smith is. How dumb knowing he's really not into girls. Stupid broad.
She can't handle ANY news. Mispronounces words. No adlibbing skills. Can't read a TelePrompTer.
I believe this goes WAY BEYOND Fox not being serious about news. As I've pointed out, hiring Tee Vee talent for looks is nothing unique. But usually the talent has news chops to back up the face and figure. This woman has no socially redeeming or news value.
Some suit at Fox REALLY likes her for some inexplicable reason. The obvious? What Roger Ailes and Co. need to realize is there is NO TRAINING this chick. If at least she could fake it to make it. But the woman can't even pull that off.
What's going on here? Someone (at Fox) please tell me!!!!!!
I think it may have something to do with a group of no-life losers who literally do nothing but watch FoxNews all day, make screen caps of the women, post online about them & bombard FoxNews with emails about how much they love to watch Courtney Friel and Ainsley Earhart. www.reportercaps.com
This is the new audience of Fox, http://www.reportercaps.proboards99.com/index.cgi?board=fox&action=display&thread=116&page=12
Anyway what's this about Shep not liking girls?
There's two reasons she's at Fox. And they're the same two reasons most of the other bubble-headed bleached blondes are there.
The chicken cutlet padding in her bra? Yeah, I always want my serious newspeople to take the padding out of their bras on late night tv.
