Fox News appears to have removed their DOW ticker in a pattern for the company, choosing to block out the steep drop in DOW points after Trump's tariff announcement

Sorry not related, but why do all conservative American news women have this over done make up and fake looking hair? It really moves them into creepy territory. Like sort of evil clown creepy.

This is actually a very big thing in conservative areas. It's like they all want to be that princess that they were told they were at 3 years old.

They are trained at an early age to dress up at beauty pageants. Where guys like trump "grab em by the pussy"

Many conservative American women strive to look like this, not just the news anchors. Among the women in orbit around Trump there are several with this same look. It's all very artificial, with lots of makeup and plastic surgery, but apparently it's an ideal in Republican circles.

trump chooses people like pam bondi, because it looks his daughter.

[–] MashedTech@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's why he married his wife. Dude really wants to fuck his daughter. In fact so does his best friend vince mcmahon

The other day we were watching a clip of that Goldigging Whore Press Secretary walking up to deliver an outdoor press conference, and she had two blonde clones trailing behind her. We all commented on how weird it was.

Superficial? Quite possibly.

The explanation is simple - they're literally Nazis, and they like the Aryan archetype.

Some have suggested it's because of puritanical upbringing. Girls learn how to do their makeup and the like by experimenting etc, but many puritanical families may act like a teen doing so is "dressing like a whore" or something. So they grow up it having the experience,and don't know what to do so just imitate what they think they should look like instead of finding the look that looks good on them.

It is what their owner men want.

I think television in general put way too much makeup on women but maybe that's just what I think.

TV executives like Roger Ailes setting a standard conservative news anchorwoman aesthetic to draw in their target audience who goes for that classic American blonde. No ethnic minorities need apply. Pant suits discouraged: gotta put those gams behind transparent counters to work for the leg cam.

I heard he used to watch fox news on mute because he cared more about how it looked than what they said.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

And without the stock ticker they do look fatter, don't you think?

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

They think the stepford wife look is a vibe. (It isn't.)

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

its a typical blond barbie hire for fox.

You see it a lot in this waking nightmare.
