1-DR. MONICA CROWLEY. De facto, Dr. Monica Crowley is one of the brightest, most informed, authoritative, entertaining and captivating personalities of the American media. And most certainly, she is the prettiest face on the American tube. This woman has it all: Beauty, looks, brains, class, style, culture, education, wit, intelligence and that captivating and mesmerizing presence. Monica Crowley began her career in radio on WABC-AM New York. She is a frequent guest on major TV and cable news channels, including ABC, NBC, FOX and HBO. Also, she worked as a commentator on National Public Radio's Morning Edition for four years. When the Fox News Channel was launched in 1996, Crowley joined the network as a political and international affairs analyst. Her insight and intelligent analysis on the day's news earned Crowley a large following of fans. In 2002, Monica began hosting “The Monica Crowley Show” on WABC Radio in New York. It now airs on major market stations across the country including: WABC-AM New York, WTKK-FM Boston and WTNT-AM Washington DC. She has also written for The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times, The Baltimore Sun and The New York Post. Politics is not the only thing Monica talks about, thinks about or deals with. She loves French cuisine, Italian specialties, traditional American food, a great bottle of Bordeaux, champagne of course and…milk! Monica Crowley is fond of Pop music, show tunes, jazz and opera, poetry, literature, philosophy. Her favorite writers and poets are Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, Dickens, Tocqueville, and Gitta Sereny. Her favorite book is Albert Speer: His Battle with Truth, by Gitta Sereny. Grosso modo, this woman is the finest media personality par excellence.
2-ALAN
COLMES (left).
He is the most “civilized” personality on the American tube. A
gentleman par excellence with class, sharp analytical mind and utmost
accuracy in reporting and analyzing the news. A profound commentator
with charm and that “un je ne sais quoi” that adds charisma and
authority to his persona. His intellect and mannerism-savoir faire
distinguish him from the rest of the pack. You don’t have to shout and
get agitated to build your momentum. Class, quite intelligence and
refined manners are a tremendous asset. Mr. Colmes knows that. He
embodies those qualities.
3-LOU
DOBBS (left). Who is
the most trusted TV personality and anchor in America? If the
Japanese, Europeans, 85% of TV viewers in this country and the
international poll of the International Herald Daily News are
right, then Lou Dobbs is the one! He just says the right word.
No monkey business. He addresses and analyzes the most vital and
important issues of the day. He brings to your attention the most
meaningful news, reports, in-depth analyses and what affects your
business, your well-being and perhaps what could shape up your daily
life. He is the man. Lou Dobbs
is the anchor and managing editor of CNN's
Lou Dobbs
Tonight. Dobbs also anchors a nationally
syndicated financial news radio report, The Lou Dobbs Financial
Report, and is a columnist for Money magazine and U.S.
News and World Report.
4-SEAN
HANNITY
(left). He is tough but fair. He is shrewd but honest. He
argues a lot but also makes you understand complicated matters. He is
opinionated, possibly biased and stubborn, but he is also well
informed, entertaining and captivating. In his mind, President Bush
is always right. And this infuriates his buddy and co-host Alan
Colmes. How these two manage to work together in a perfect
synchronization? Only God and Anne Coulter know. Grosso modo,
Mr. Hannity is major presence in the world of American media.
Whether you like him or hate his guts, he remains the one to watch on
your tube.
