I've always loved Cook for her well-rounded approach and steady anchor delivery and am mystified why the Foxites wouldn't give her a shot as top banana.
I think I know why.
Cook doesn't act like an imbecile on the air. Cook is gracious, confident and doesn't treat the viewers like fools.
You listening, Gaas?
Cook doesn't have to resort to cheap and doofus-like shenanigans; she doesn't have to MUG the camera and come off as a midtown yenta like that of the GAAAS! Gaas has issues but the Fox buttheads seem to either don't care or look the other way because the ratings are good. They are. But not because of the GAAS! The Gaaas is an everyday embarrassment to KTVU and even by its awful owner, Fox, aka: The Firm.
Cook is everything Gaaas isn't; she's a dedicated TV Newswoman journalist with style and grace. Sideshows are beneath her; she's a beautiful woman who knows how to do her job without cheap tricks. But that's not good enough for the Cult in Jack London Square.
Ok, so now you know.
Agreed 100 percent.
ReplyDeleteYea but you forget Pam's older now. Getting up that early with that amount of energy is a young woman's game.
ReplyDeletePam is a good reporter except she is kind of boring to listen to for hours, Gasia steals the show and not as boring. People just change when they get promoted.
ReplyDeleteAnd Pam Cook is overweight, which is the second worst sin after getting old.
ReplyDeletePam is a prime time mama. Underweight women are bad luck.
DeletePam is not fat, have your eyes checked. Sal is kind of Porky, but I doubt anyone would bother to comment on it because we tend to judge women by different standards than we do men.
DeleteI'd like to know why people watch local tv news? What's the demographic?
ReplyDeleteDennis Richmond, look away... just look away. The Gassy one. Looks like ol' Brick has a boiler going now.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree with you more.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the TV media's obsession with the Salesforce Tower? They show it on the weather segment every night. "Another floor is lit up!" Who the eff cares!?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteAs I've said before Cook's delivery is way better than the Gas's but she needs a makeover. If she got a more fashionable wardrobe, new hair cut, her weight wouldn't matter so much. I wonder why Foxification hasn't touched her. She has a monotone and a stammer but that's because she has a kid and has to work at 4am!
ReplyDeletewhat about Laura?
ReplyDeleteBingo. Another good post by Dick the Lieberman. Gas Cap has got to go.
ReplyDeletePam Cook is a classy, non glamorous, star and that is what that station needs. I worked with her and Mark Curtis and those two were the "bomb"... When TV was good. Go Pam go...
