2. Beat me to it

she is a strange person

[KewlKat]

14. My first thought as well.....will there be a song ending her segments?

[underpants]

3. I think that's Porto's former time slot.

[FakeNoose]

4. Isn't this a DEI hire?

[kysrsoze]

8. Yup - Dimwitted, Egregious and Incompetent

[Retrograde]

11. No, she's blonde

(natural or bottle, I don't care), so she's in keeping with the Fox model. She's also vacuous, which is a plus

[C_U_L8R]

5. Ew.

Fox is blocked here so there's no risk of vomit inducing.

6. Who the hell would be surprised by this?

[kysrsoze]

7. State TV... FFS.

9. So Lips found a new job...

If everything they touch dies, so be it.

12. We can only hope ....

[Retrograde]

10. Pays better than being a senator

and she can reach a much larger audience, and doesn't have to deal with those pesky constituents who are always wanting something.

13. "Mein View"! That'll be riveting propaganda, for sure!

15. She's not going to sing I hope.
