this woman sounds possessed

araby · Post by **araby** » Fri Oct 14, 2005 5:22 pm

she doesn't have ANYTHING that qualifies her to anchor on her show.
1-her stories suck.
2-her voice sounds like she od'ed on some testosterone
3-when you look at her while hearing her voice you just want to choke her and get it over with.

Rita Crosby on MSNBC:

Rita Cosby serves as an anchor and special correspondent for MSNBC, and beginning August 8, 2005, she will host “Rita Cosby: Live and Direct,” a one-hour live primetime show, which will air Monday through Friday at 9 p.m. (ET).

Cosby made headlines her first day at MSNBC (June 13, 2005) by scoring a world exclusive interview with Jermaine and Tito Jackson when the Michael Jackson verdict broke. The following day, she interviewed Santa Barbara County District Attorney Tom Sneddon who was prosecuting the case, and in her second week, she got an exclusive interview with Michael Jackson’s mother, Katherine.

Prior to joining MSNBC, Cosby hosted Fox News Channel's highly rated weekend programs, The Big Story Weekend Edition with Rita Cosby and FOX News Live with Rita Cosby. As a senior correspondent for the network, Cosby secured the most sought after interviews while covering U.S. and global breaking news.

Cosby has obtained exclusive interviews with numerous world leaders, including one with former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic from The Hague. She secured historic back-to-back interviews with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, and conducted an exclusive interview with Arafat when his compound was under siege in April 2002. Cosby was the first journalist to see the suspected terrorists being held at Guantanamo and witness an actual interrogation. In addition, she was the first to interview former POW Thomas Hamill, whose escape from his Iraqi captors made international headlines. Cosby also was granted a rare, private meeting with the Pope after receiving an exclusive letter from Timothy McVeigh explaining why he carried out the Oklahoma City bombing. Years earlier, while broadcasting live from Belgrade, she was the first to report that three American POWs were going to be released. Additionally, she has interviewed many U.S. leaders exclusively including President George H.W. Bush, President Bill Clinton, President Ronald Reagan and President Gerald Ford, as well as many foreign leaders including King Abdullah of Jordan, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf and former Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi.

Cosby made national headlines for her interviews with boxer Mike Tyson, singer Michael Jackson and convicted serial killer, David Berkowitz, "The Son of Sam," who wrote to her during the October 2002 D.C. sniper shootings. As that story unfolded, Cosby secured another major first by being the initial journalist to report the names and license plate numbers of the sniper suspects. She worked throughout the night as they were arrested, breaking numerous details about the case and their backgrounds. In 2001, Cosby's interview with flight attendant Anne Marie Smith led to a U.S. Attorney's Office investigation of Rep. Gary Condit for obstruction of justice and witness tampering.

Cosby served as a lead reporter during the 1996 and 2000 presidential campaigns and during the Monica Lewinsky investigation, she broke the news that President Clinton was going to be subpoenaed to testify before the grand jury. It was Cosby again who surprised the President as well as fellow reporters when, during a live White House press conference, she informed him that he would be subpoenaed to testify in the Whitewater trial. Cosby also scored the only interview with the Montana Freeman during their 1996 standoff with the FBI.

Cosby has traveled to some of the most dangerous places in the world including Kosovo when the peace deal was forged, and she interviewed people inside a Tijuana penitentiary and San Quentin’s death row. She also covered the LA riots, visited the Aryan Nation compound and interviewed leaders of the KKK and the Nation of Islam.

Cosby joined Fox News Channel at its inception from WBTV, the CBS affiliate in Charlotte, North Carolina. During her tenure there, she broke numerous stories, reporting that Susan Smith drowned her two young sons and that the father of NBA superstar Michael Jordan was murdered.

Cosby has received numerous awards and honors for her reporting, including three Emmy Awards for investigative reporting, the National Foundation for Women Legislators' 2003 Media Award for Excellence, the 2002 Association of Women in Communications Headliner Award, the Matrix Award and the Jack Anderson Award, both for journalism distinction.

Cosby earned her bachelors' degrees from the University of South Carolina, graduating with honors. In 1998, Cosby was presented with the USC Distinguished Alumni Award. She grew up in Greenwich, Conn., and currently resides in the New York area.

I fuckin hated that bitch when she was on Fox News..MSNBC gets their asses whacked on a daily basis by Fox so tries their damndest to lure something of theirs away.

What they get is this annoying bitch. Then they go batshit airing these "toughguy" ads with her like she is some gripping journalist that gets the "big story" when others can't.

That voice...that fucking....voice...god damn I hate that voice...

She does have nice tits though...but that voice......

araby · Post by **araby** » Sat Oct 15, 2005 11:29 am

I did try there, got nothing. Anyway, I just can't believe that she really has this job. It's so strange, it seems like lately more and more people are getting jobs they aren't qualified for.

I mean, she's on tv talking. That is her job. Your voice can't sound like that for that job!! She sounds like a deep-throater. Maybe that's why she has the job. :dunno:

There's this girl on a show called Unfabulous on Nickelodeon who drives me just as crazy, although she's not exactly in a field of intelligence, so it's not quite as bad.. she's probably 13, and the show is based around her life, which involves her 'talent,' singing. She is by far the worst voice I have ever heard when it comes to singing.. it's like they're telling little girls hey, it's ok if you're ugly and talentless - with the pop craze, we can still make you a star, don't worry about accomplishing anything of real importance! They gave her a music video (where she didn't sound nearly as bad in) and are trying to make her the next version of disney pop diva type.. ugh

TV hates america =\

The next Hillary Duff. :wink:

Gypsiyee · Post by **Gypsiyee** » Sat Oct 15, 2005 5:56 pm

Hillary Duff was at least a cute girl, though (until she decided to join the oops I forgot to eat craze) Her voice wasn't just purely godawful, either.. she was no beauty to my ears, but she wasn't half as bad as this girl

ok look.. on nickelodeon's site they have this thing that you can watch some of the shows, http://www.nick.com/turbonick/index.jhtml - if you have 9 or so minutes to spare, click on the link and then click on unfabulous, then click on "watch the whole show" on the bottom left.. she 'sings' in that, and it's the worst =\

I watch The N (so shoot me) at night and there was a commercial for her CD. I BUST out laughing everytime I hear the "lyrics":
New shoes
You rule
You rule
New shoes

That does it for me, right there. I searched around on her little site thingy and I listened to more of the song. It's even better LOL.

Maybe she is in the show as a results of the showbiz connections she had.
