    My (nearly 80) uncle used to show me random Youtube videos and then other videos would start auto-playing. It was always beautiful young blonde women (real ones, this was before AI) spouting the standard right-wing talking points. He would say “see, she’s making a lot of sense” and I would ask him how it was that a blonde teenage girl had somehow arrived at the same “wisdom” that he had spent a lifetime accumulating. That actually made him think for a while, but he always forgot it by the next time around.

      Yeah, I long ago noticed all the Fox news women had a very particular look. I concluded rather quickly it was to capture the simp factor of a specific type of mark.

        I once saw grid of photos of the talking head women at Fox News, and literally every one of them looked alike - chiseled facial features with lots of big blonde hair. They were nearly indistinguishable from each other.

        Roger Ailes definitely had a type. We also found out later that they all had to give him a blowjob to get their positions.
