My glasses aren’t very clean today, so I may not have noticed the post, but I haven’t seen **Geraldo’s** name yet. Does this suggest that somebody respects him as a newscaster? If this is true, have I entered an alternative universe? And how do I get back to the real one? Or possibly find one where he and his sidekick Bill O’Reily do not exist? ---

Bill O’Reilly. I don’t care what You “classify” him as. He’s on a news channel and sometimes as I’m channel surfing I accidentally catch his show for a few seconds. Bill O’Reilly Bill O’Reilly Bill O’Reilly. ---

Ashleigh Banfield Dan Abrahms Lester Holt, he really bothers me. I have nothing against MSNBC, they just seem to have the worst of the bunch. ---

Geraldo’s probably not considered by most to be a newscaster, **TV Time** , more like a crappy, hammy reporter. :\> ---

imho, she’s the most overrated, pretentious newscaster there is, or ever was. ---

That’s the smirky one I’m thinking of: Lester Holt. (Disregard my previous guess of Aaron Brown.) ---

I can’t stand Bill Hemmer from CNN. He grates on my nerves. That blank Bambi stare he has just kills me. Now, my favorite newscaster is Thomas Robertson from Headline News. I have no idea whether or not he’s good newscaster, I just know he’s CUTE!!! Eric [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-is-your-least-favo-u-rite-newscaster/127993.md?page=1)
