Who's your favourite news presenter?

[Minnie_the_Minx]

she did have an affair with her co-dancer while she was on the show. i bet that was in the paper loads

Might have seen her, but I normally flick past crap like that

I never liked her before Strictly Come Dancing because I think she's arrogant and patronising

 

[Ron Merlin]

Dermot Murnaghan reminds me of those selfish twonks on the train by the way he sits. You know, like he's got swollen bollocks or something. Show off your bulge!

 

[DexterTCN]

Jon Stewart.

Really? Wow, now I don't just like her, I love her.

I'm going to try and find that bit on iplayer or youtube or somesuchshit. It's got to be somewhere?

It was a "and finally story" on all this morning's headlines on BBC Breakfast.

I watch news for a living and am force-fed newsreaders ALL BLOODY DAY. To retain my sanity I feel compelled to find favourites, or at least find the best features amongst a forest of bland "news hair" lookalikes. On the Beeb I'm fond of Huw's dry style of presentation, and Sophie Raworth's mumsy loveliness.

Occasionally I have to watch the financial channels. CNBC seems to be full of coked-up tossers, but I must confess I do enjoy the sheer ludicrousness of uber-posh Richard Quest on CNN.

Best financial guy for me, though, is my gf's ex-neighbour Paul George of Bloomberg, undoubtedly the Wogan of financial TV. Smoooooth operator.

Loves a puff, too

I love Richard Quest BUSINESS TRAVELLER.

My studio is in the news building and he's actually very lovely

Kay Burleigh, on the other hand, is a right bitch.

 

[Stigmata]

Richard Quest has a good name. So has Damien Grammaticus.

 

[London_Calling]

If we're talking that kind of like then it's probably Emily Maitlis on Newsnight. Girie but tough. A good interviewer as well, by BBC standards anyway.

There's a bloke who come on tv news sometimes called Simon Calder - he specialises in travel and works at the Indie. He gave me my first ever fag aged around 8 (yes, he was an older boy). Bastid!

Dermot is lovely. As is Nick Owen and Huw Edwards. Sian also v. nice, and everyone liked Natasha who worked with her apparently.

When Kay Burleigh got stalked by Barry George, there wasn't much sympathy for her, iirc.

In the battle of the heavyweights in terms of news presenter eye candy and representing Great Britain in the red corner:

Tasmin Lucia Khan (presenter of E24 on BBC News)

Representing France in the blue corner: Melissa Theuriau

Both stunners but I think Melissa Theuriau has the edge

 

[Flashman]

Sky Sports News' Millie Clode:

 

[strung out]

yeah, this isn't a thread for posting up gratuitous pics of eye candy thanks

 

[Flashman]

Sozzer.

[zoooo]

I love Peter Dobbie.
He used to be on News 24 but moved to BBC World so I haven't seen him for ages.

 

[stavros]

If he counts, Paxo. If not, and discounting eye-candy, maybe Krishnan Guru-Murphy. I remember him presenting Newsround.

 

[Sootysoots]

Sam Matterface

But that's only because his name is funny.

 

[strung out]

speaking of newsround... John Craven ftw
